Okay guys. How important is a pcv valve? Do I really need it or can I just run 2 breathers? Hooked mine up today and the car seemed a bit off. I'm not sure if maybe it's got a vacuum leak around my barb fitting maybe or what. What do you non ls fellas run?

You need a PCV valve or your going to have cc pressure working on pushing oil past your seals and gaskets. I run a breather on each bank with PCV valve. I was talking about the color on your parts car - same as mine.

Oh I've got a pcv valve on there now. And that's no parts car it's going to be the next build :D I love the color scheme I'm definitely going to stick with it

You might think about fiberglass bumper fillers replacements - fit well and not a lot of $$$

Well my fun has been short lived. I blew a clutch line so I need to drop the transmission now to replace it. Also need to get my interior put together and my passenger seat installed and get some real paint on the car. But it's getting there. Soon I'll have to start on my regal just to keep myself entertained

Got it back on the road! Ran my clutch line a different way so it wouldn't rub through on the clutch this time...lol. also picked up a parts car for $125 and he delivered it so that was cool. Cars pretty rough but I'm going to snag the steering column and the rear end if it's posi and some other bits
