Remove the plug from the rear of the intake and install a hose barb fitting (you can get them at any hardware store).

FWIW, the PCV valve was connected by a molded hose to the carburetor spacer plate, at the rear. NEVER plumb a PCV valve into an intake runner vacuum source.

 

NEVER plumb a PCV valve into an intake runner vacuum source.

Why? My PCV is T'ed to the manifold in exactly this config... C4 vac + vac gauge +PCV. What am I affecting?

 

Thank you, that location fits right in with end of the vacuum tube.

 

I would have you use a separate fitting for the modulator
The modulator does not take enough vacuum to make a lean condition on any cylinder
You can put the modulator vacuum anywhere
The PCV should go to the port in the base of the carb so it affects all cylinders

 

Woodchuck's advise is good in that the "preferred" source for the PCV is the tube at the base of the carb. On the original GT350s , the PCV WAS sourced from a manifold runner and other engines like the 428CJ were also sourced from a front and rear port through a common tube. As time went on , we got smarter about "where" the PCV vacuum should come from. Vacuum for the transmission does not need the same volume as the PCV and is usually sourced from a fitting from a port in the rear. My GT350 is an auto trans ( Hertz rental) car and it used the fitting in the manifold next to the one used for the PCV.

Thank you for all of your responses. I have got the nipple fitting to put the vacuum line into the back of the manifold and got the parts to run the pcv into the back of the carb. For the vacuum line between the side of the carb and the distributor, I am using a rubber vacuum line as both have hose nipples coming out vs a threaded female to receive the threaded flared fitting on a stainless steel line. And the last two items ordered were a Lokar kickdown cable instead of trying to recreating kickdown bar and hose and fittings to get from the fuel pump to the carb fuel line.

I did run into trouble trying to put the a/c compressor support bracket running from the top of the compressor over the valve cover and bolted to the manifold. Two issues were the valve cover is a little higher than the original smooth valve cover and the breather the builder put on I also taller. I put a lower breather on. Then I took off the plate on the compressor and realized that the compressor is not the same setup as the original that came on the car, as that one had two large threaded holes running up the middle vs the 4 holes on the corners on the current one (went with this as it was converted to R134a). This explains why I could not line up the bolt holes. I am not sure if I should be looking for another version of the anti vibration brace, or with this model it may not be necessary? 2nd to 4th pic

We are hopefully will get the Arvinode exhaust installed next week or so.
