PCV Hose

[gamellott]

Good Afternoon All,

 

A little oddball thing I assume. I'm getting ready to pull off the upper intake manifold and I'm pretty sure that the PCV Valve hose isn't going to survive this round, as it was well cracked the last time I took it off. Does anyone have a Part Number to suggest for a replacement? If not, what's a suggested workaround?

11826-88G00 at least according to the diagrams; however the pictures don't match but that wouldn't be the first time I've seen a mismatch with the pictures.

Out of stock everywhere including overseas. The problem is that it's molded. I had a hell of a time finding matching molded pieces for other parts of the crankcase ventilation system when I did a refresh - eventually ordering multiple things through amazon from different cars and returning what didn't match.

 

However for the molded PCV connection specifically, I simply ended up entirely bypassing the connection to the metal tube that runs under the intake to the hose that connects to the pass side valve cover. I just ran a long pcv/eec hose directly from the pcv to the valve cover - tucked the hose behind the intake; however I have a 3" body lift which probably made that easier. Unfortunately I can't recall if it was 1/2" or 5/8" but you should be able to come up with something if you can't find the molded piece. You could possibly just cut some short lengths of hose and use a couple of 90 degree nylon hose barbs to make the turns.

I used a couple of 90 degree 5/8" (I think) hoses with a brass coupler to join the 2. Not elegant but better than the cracked one causing a vacuum leak.
