Closing in on getting the truck back together.

Six months ago, I sidelined the 37 for manifold gasket issues. The gasket between the intake and exhaust had blown out and I was suspecting an intake leak. So anyway, all that is fixed along with valve adjustment.

Now I am facing the most horrifying task: getting the PCV equipment to assemble. My truck hasn't had the PCV valve on it as the exhaust manifold port was blocked with carbon. We didn't discover this until after we installed the power pack so I basically ran road draft out the back port.

So now I'm trying to get the pipe from the rear of the block to mate to the brass fitting coming from the PCV valve and of course, it's not lining up. This is something annoying about compression fittings.

So I'm stalled at this point. Yay.

Good luck with that, John.
My PCV plumbing is hanging from my garage shelf-procured it a few years back. Bubba clamped off the inlet on the manifold before I got the truck. I plan to repair and install it when I do my intake and exhaust manifold gaskets-hopefully this Fall.

Mine looks exactly like that. LOL It's the pipe from the rear of the block to the front section that is stubborn.

Mine was in a box until a couple of day ago. I originally cleaned it up nearly a decade ago. I found a duplicate set in a box yesterday and am going to compare them and try to make it fit. :)
