when i got my car the guy had hooked the pcv hose to the vac tree and im scared that the oil will get in to my brake boosters and its not venting well, how do u hook the pcv system up on a carb car??

Normally the pcv vac nipple would be separate from the nipple for the vac tree. These need to be in 2 different places.

If you only have 1 vac nipple on the carb you can drill and tap another nipple on the carb, or convert to breathers.

Maybe someone else can make another suggestion,
but that is all I can think of.

I have a hole drilled in the back of my intake tapped 1/4 npt. I just have a brass 1/4 npt fitting - 3/8 hose end in the hole going to the pcv.

That will work if you don't have cats and won't have to get through emissions. I would imagine from time to time you will smell partially burned oil from the exhaust as well (not sure on that though).

To run breathers...
Find a way to cap off the pcv hole in the intake, or stick a breather in the pcv hole. I would also add a second breather on one of the valve covers, possible one on each valve cover. The more breathers the better.

That is all you need to do.

If you only have one vac nipple on the intake manifold, then the breather option seems like the best option.

For the kit to work you need a hole on each valve cover... if not, you could cut a hole in the second valve cover, but you wouldnt have a plate (baffle?) below the hole and i think you would suck oil then... at least in my case i know i would...
