Check this thread out from last week it should help you: OIL IN INTAKE
http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard...ML/018909.html

I just moved the PCV to my C&L intake tube where it has the boss for Nitrous. It only draws a little vacuum at idle from the butterfly in the TB and when I go wide open it will drop out like it should. The more I thought about taking it to the air box the more I got a uneasy feeling, if oil were to get that far it would go through the electronics of the air meter, which is a bog no no, so this seemed like a better idea and it is working great so far, no puddles and my tube doesn't have oil in it either.

Hey 93, how'd the track go with the new combo?

New intake is on and cam is in, It fierd up perfect on the first try. Everything seems to be perfect. It was rainging this week so I didn't get to go. I should know by Friday. The thing feels/pulls ALOT harder now. I'll keep ya updated. Thanks for the help. Oh yeah, I only have 5 miles on my new Edel. intake, so I have no oil in it yet, and I hope ever... Thanks agian
