 Topic: amc 360 intake manifold questionPosted: Apr/22/2018 at 4:23pm |

Im replacing my intake manifold on my 72 360. It's an EDELBROCK performer. guys at the machine shop recommended I install a plate on the intake below the PCV valve to prevent oil from being sucked up into it. Doesnt the intake/valley pan do this? Or is this a good idea? no biggie if i need to do it. just wanted some AMC fan input!

If you are going to run a PCV then add the plate

Needs the plate or will consume oil, period.
Also use the metal valley pan gasket too. Very Important. |

problem is, I dont have one at all. old intake didnt have one and it appears finding one isnt easy. Think it would be okay if i just covered the pcv area?
would prefer a full one if anybody knows where i can find one? |

2 Styles, early and late... early is flatter, later is "dome-ed"...
 Here, a STOCK BAFFLE "cut-off" and used as a "Partial-PCV-Air-Baffle"...  |
