Hi I have a modified alloy head crossflow in a TE Cortina. It has redline 4 barrel intake with 465 holley. I want to hook up the pcv valve but the holley has no port into the base to connect there are positions on either ends of intake runners but it seems to me that would cause a cylinder or 2 to run different than the rest if they were sucking in from the pcv. my question is , would there be any problem if I drilled a hole into the plenum and tapped a thread for a fitting to fit a hose for pcv valve. It seems to me that would keep things more balanced.

I dont have the PCV Valve connected.... just got a bit of tape over the hole..
dunno if its affecting my power... got 210hp with auto.. but havent dynod it since i converted to manual and put extractors on it.

Hi thanks mate, just curious does your air cleaner fit under your bonnet. This Cortina is my sons and I am helping him get it together but we are having clearance issues with Filter and bonnet clearance. Redline 4 barrel , holley carb 1/2 inch spacer Taller alloy aussie speed rocker cover ( roller rockers) . I noticed you have a good looking set of extractors. Did you make those and how much extra gain did you get. we are using pacemakers , we have cut the ends off and welded a 3" collector cone to try to improve them.

Hi, the air cleaner sits under the bonnet no worries. the extractors sit higher than it.

I bought the extractors off XRGlen years ago.. they were on his old Cortina that ran 12.1 at drags back in 99.

I havent dynod the car since i put extractors on and converted it to manual but it had 210hp.

the extractors came off this car.

Hi what ignition set up are you using. does anyone know how to wire an MSD box direct to the Bosch electronic dizzy bypassing the bosch module. I have heard you can just go direct to the 2 black wires and forget about the dizzy module.
