Awesome. Now, since my vacuum wipers are connected to it at the moment, would it be a problem it I had both the pvc valve and wipers connected to that one port at the same time?

If you want a suugestion for a starting point for a PCV valve I used one for a 302 Ford initially. Too much airflow so I went to one for a 4 cylinder which worked very well.
What's confuses the matter is the Microgard PCV-202 that Ted suggests is list for any from a 302 Ford all the way up to a 460 and everything in between...  [/quote]
Like I said its trial and error.What works on one engine may not work on another.Like everything else fuel related there are variables like camshaft,timing,etc.I found with my stock engine the 302 valve flowed too much air.The idle was terrible.The 4 cylinder one has a smaller size passageway.You can also restrict the airflow as I mentioned if its too lean.The PCV valve is just a flow control depending on vacuum and internal size.
Mark, what I was referring to is the same PCV valve is used in such a wide range of engine sizes, not that the one Ted suggested would not work on a 292.

I understand the want / need for a PCV - but why would someone consider a US$129 priced "dual path" version?

Why do you want a PCV valve?Here are some good reasons;
• Properly ventilates crankcase, resulting in cleaner oil and cleaner engine internals
• Reduces emissions
• Reduces moisture and acidic vapors in your engine’s crankcase

Why do you want a PCV valve?Have you ever noticed that gas fume smell in your garage when the car has been sitting enclosed for any length of time?Thats from the open crankcase having the Road Draft Tube.Install a PCV and close off the opening where the Draft Tube was(or still is for appearance only blocked off) and that smell is gone.Just one of several reasons for installing one.

It would be interesting to find out if that expensive valve is of any benefit. How would you quantify that in order to test it against other off-the-shelf valves? How do you know that you have the "right" pcv valve?

I only thought they were for emissions. I don't have problems with fuel smell. How does it achieve a cleaner crankcase?
