Now i have the pcv crap out of the way i was wondering what i should set the initial timing at on the 360? what should the initial and total timing be at? I have no idea what the specs should be. Also im going to be swapping the POS stock holley 2bbl out and gonna run a stock 4bbl manifold and...

Its a pcv valve. I was just showing the crack. I have another just like it but is just a breather and has a bigger opening

Ill post pic tomorrow.

So ive anyone ever buys those chrome pcv valve id examine them close befor purchase

Crack was on the bottom side of chrome push on pcv valve causinig it to pull manifold vacuum through it. Thats why it was rattling like crazy.

Warranty will void if i take it apart. The company marks everthing so the know if its been tampered with. Trying to get cash refund. Thinking of aftermatket intake and edelbrock carb.

The cheap chrome pcv was definitely the problem and defective. I took it off and examined is and found it had a crack half way around it on the bottom side causing it not to work properly and cause a huge vacuum leak. So i replaced it with a factory style one and all is good with that problem...

Im working on a Small Block 360. The rattling im talking about it the pcv valve going crazy at idle from vacuum sucking through im guessing. I was just thinking of going a and buying a stock replacement valve from the parts store and ditching the cheap chrome one.

Vacuum at idle is Engine idles at about 20 HG and timing set at 8 degrees BTDC. Runs real good with out pcv hooked up. With pcv hooked up at idle it runs like **** and you can hear the pcv rattling like crazy and engine runs like it has a major vacuum leak until rpms get higher

Engine is a fresh rebuild.

Took the distributor out to have a look at it and found that it was just a big POS lol. The remanufacturing job done on it was crap so i decided to return it along with the cap and rotor and used the money from the refund and bought a brand new distributor with a cap and rotor along with a new...

I am having possible ignition problems. I was wondering if anyone has had problems with reman stock distributors? My distributor, cap, rotor, plugs, and wires are all new. I am having problems with trying to get to run smooth at idle. Im thinking that something in the ignition system is causing...

Not having good ground connections cause ignition issues? Cause rough idle ect.....?

I am wondering where all the proper locations for grounding would be to the engine and body ect.... Also if the the engine ground wires aren't grounded good enough or in the right places what would be expected symptoms and problems?
