Could I run pcv of the intake manifold instead of the carb ?

Can't you just run it to nowhere? I mean isn't the PCV just to release crankcase vapors? Can't it vent to the atmosphere? Of course it's bad for the air, but I live in iowa so I don't care that much haha.

a lot of intakes have a 3/8" port in the rear of the plenum that can be used. ever thot about drilling and tapping for a hole in front and back? u could tee the pcv line so it would run to both, for more equalization of the venting. I have to pull my intake to reverse some oil mods. I did anyway, so I`m going to take a long look at the front and rear thing.
