: Larry,
: I bought a PCV kit from Walt for an engine I rebuilt and for over a year couldn't figure out why my engine seemed to lack power compared to other A's I had driven. I tried everything...points,plugs timing..you name it. I finally took the car to a mechanic(not easy for me to do since I've always taken pride in my abilities to solve engine problems). After an hour of fussing the mechanic discovered that this PCV valve I had installed when I re-built the engine was manufactured backwards, i.e I had a continual vacuum leak.They installed one that had the hose connection going the right direction....what a difference....plenty of power.Live and learn.
