so i shouldnt worry about putting antifreeze in the block? i was just gonna pour some in the location where the sensor goes to make sure there is some in the block for the first start up.

Is there any advantage to one system over the other? By that I mean breather over pcv or vice versa? I think I may plug my rear pcv hole and cap the vaccum and run breathers on the valve covers for a cleaner look. anyone else doing this?

hmm, what if I bought another one of these http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=1411 and ran it to a t with my other one, then up to the pcv vacuum? Then I plugged the pcv hole? how does that sound?(just trying to think of options.)

yes, that should work, but i am not 100% sure.

I would ask a specific Tech question about it.
(that way i can see too )


99% of the reason i will be running 2 PCV's is because I screwed up and bought the wrong valve covers.
