Right on the front valve cover, it's connected via the air tube that connects to the intake.

There should be a black tube coming out of the valve cover like Mike said. It's like a 3/4" tube, and at the valve cover theirs like a grommet kind of thing...pull the tube straight out and the PCV is on the end of the tube.
Hope this helps

if its the tube i tried, it wasnt there....mind you the tube i pulled was the one that comes off the intake hose and into the intake mani. its for oil over flow or something like that. I dont think thats the one. is it on the front manifold or rear? any pics?

thanks again,
Jeff

there is no oil overflow


the pcv is a metal piece that when you have it out will kinda rattle when you shake it


the tube goes into it and it slips into the valve cover
