Default PCV Valve

How is it supposed to look? I bought one made by fram but after looking at some pictures it looks like it wont fit. It has 2 blackprongs sitting and sticking out the top to the sideis this correct?

It should have come w/ a plug for the smaller tube fitting. It's a universal valve.

yeah thats correct. the one for for my motor had one black thing sticking out of the side. inbetween the two side tubes theres a little piece of plastic attached. it looks like its made to get ripped off and thrown away. but its actually a plug that u put in one of the tubes so it'll work. the valve is somewhere inbetween the block and the firewall also. i know i spent half an hour just finding my pcv valve. lol. i hope i helped.

I just ripped the entire piece off and attached the hose directly to the metal piece underneath. I didn't like the 90 degree turn and eliminated it.

I know it's a done deal, but to add some useless rhetoric: I think Pro is right about it being a universal valve. For some cars, such as ours, you just wiggle that black plastic part off, bung the silver part into place, and give the car hell.

Before the new valve goes in fish out the filter that sits under it. I had to lay over the intake to get to it let alone see it. It looks like a little metal cage filled with steel wool. Flush it with carb cleaner real good and stuff it back in.
