The dipstick is on the side, 302 truck engine. It just drops into the hole. The oil comes out of it while I am driving. Like I said in the other post, it is a lot less now but it is still coming out. The engine builder said to use Ultra Black to seal it. It sealed mostly but still leaks. I...

Hey thanks. I have a 302. I brought it back to the engine builder today so he can look at it. It is leaking from the rear main I think. Since I put the PCV Valve on right it leaks a lot less (pressure?) but I want to have this fixed since I just paid for a new engine. It just makes me mad I...

Oh yes, 40 series are the ticket.... I love mine

Did they say anything about keeping it open? The last few years they have been telling everyone they are going to close it to off roaders. Maybe they like the $

Thanks for all the help

Thanks, I will give it a try.

Jerry,<br><br>Thanks a lot for the pictures, that was very considerate of you. I see what you are talking about. So you just have a breather on the driver side and the pcv valve, from a 66 on the pass side going to the carb? I will try this tonight. I know I have a lot of vapor coming out...

Yeah the engine is going back to them today. Actualy, the whole truck is. What a nightmare. I am so sick of my truck being sidelined I am ready to puke. I have been waiting since June for this engine to be built and now corrected. The sad thing is I know this guy, me friend and brother and...

Yeah I know this problem is strange, belive me I know. Yes, the hose coming from the pcv valve from the driver side valve cover does blow out vapor. I was told to hook this up to the base of the carb and the other side to the air cleaner. I did this and oil came out of my dipstick and the...

I know, I am bringing it back it him Sunday. This has been the biggest nightmare. My truck has been down since June because of this bullsh*t.

Yeah I used Ultra Black but there is a small hole still. But it should not be coming out like it is. Hell, most people I know don't even seal it off.

How do you guys seal off your dipstick tube? I have tried to hook up my PCV Valve/hose and another hose from my valve cover to my air cleaner and I lose lots of oil. Most of it comes out the dipstick tube hole and I think some out the rear main seal? I just got the engine back and it is a...

I just put a bolt in the floor, mine were already threaded in the floor. Sounds like I got off easy for once

Great thanks for the information

Thanks. Well here is my real problem. I had that hooked up that way but it seems to pressurize the system too much. I mean, I have oil spooing out the dipstick and it appears out the back somewhere near the rear main seal. I know this sounds crazy but I drove to 7-11 yesterday and when I...

Hey chuck,<br><br>Can you explain what ports do what on the Q Jet?<br><br>I am specifically trying to hook up brake booster, vacuum advance for my MSD distributor, and possibly a PCV Valve connection. Thanks<br><br>I just ordered one from you a few weeks back. Thanks

Yeah, I have one breather on the passenger side routed out to the ground. The other is also doing the same. It seems to run fine this way but the vapor is a little annoying. If the vapor is not a bad thing why not leave it this way. <br><br>I see what you are saying though, run a pcv valve...

Ok, so you don't stick it into the carb at the bottom of it? It seems to pressurize the system a lot.

74bronc,<br><br>what regulator do you use? what carb are you using?<br><br>I always found those silver ones hard to figure out what setting I was on.

I have an Edelbrock Perfromer 289 manifold, 302. I used the adapter to mount the Q jet. As far as clearance, I could not fit it with a 3" air cleaner. I also used a drop base air cleaner and I still needed more room. So, I cut the hood. That's fun. I put a nice hood scoop on top, painted it...
