Re: [Amc-list] Idle speed and PCV / Oil Filler Cap Questions ....

[Greg Taylor <amundaza@xxxxxxxxx>]

Frank/Tom & all,
Thanks for the response about this issue.  I took your sound advice and put a PCV valve back into the intake and ran it to the PCV port on the Holley.  I ran the fill tube cap vent back to the air cleaner.  All is well now.  Started it up and after the choke disengaged, the idle was back down to "normal".  NO hesitations at idle, curb idle or cruising around the neighborhood. 

Thanks again ... you guys are top rate in helping out!
 
Sincerely,
Greg Taylor :) <><

Yes, you've created a vacuum leak! The PCV valve keeps the carb from 
pushing stuff back into the block (it's a one-way valve) but also 
restricts just how much can be sucked into the engine. Just get an 
in-line PCV valve and stick it in the hose.
