Pcv system parts?

Hi, I replaced the pcv valve grommet on the right side. On the left side of my 305 tpi, there are two elbows, one connected to the valve cover(elbow) and then another connected to a long thin tube that goes to the throttle body. Does anyone happen to know what this small elbow is called? Thank you

Re: Pcv system parts?

You might want to try the dealership.

The PCV system changed a few times, as did the valve covers, finding generic aftermarket parts that are correct for that system is going to take a lot of trial and error and you still might not find what you're looking for. If you can get the real part from GM you're better off. Otherwise you might just have to figure out a way to plumb it on your own.



I'm assuming you're talking about #61 in the diagram? You might be able to get a molded 90* heater hose and just cut it to size.

It's the filtered air inlet,it all has to do with the PCV system.ON that diagram that Drew put up it's nos.57 to 61.

Yes, that's the part. I found # 59 and put it on. I tried googling the filtered air inlet and all I got was air intakes and manifolds. If i can't find it online, my last resort will be my moms friends husband who works for a GM dealership. Thanks Drew,and Mantaguy, I was going nuts trying to figure out what the part was called. Do you know where i can find the P/N for the inlet?
