excuse my ignorance..but what kind of hose fitting? I see like 300 kinds online

 

go to the local hard ware store. It will be a brass fitting with multi level looking things. One end should be about an inch of that and the other should be fairly small with a small nut to pinch the tube between the nut and fititng body.

 

O ok i know what your talking about.

 

This is from a buddy of mine
"pcv isnt needed. its for emissions. its supposed to go into the intake to cut down on pollution and what not. you can just take the hose off or get valve covers with breathers and do away with it. dont plug it off, the engin has to be able to vent out gasses made inside by movement of parts, heating up, cooling down and what not"

 

BTW...the hose that goes into the valve cover isnt attatch to anything. It just slides into the valve cover.

 

u shouldnt leave it disconnected. the gases in the case are byproducts from combustion in the cylinders that force their way past the piston rings and will form damaging sludge in your engine

 

What engine is this? You want the hose attachment point to seal up or you'll get unmetered air into the engine. I'd try and get the attachment point about the same as it was stock...ie... if it was before the throttle body before keep it there, if it was after the TB keep it there. My 5VZFE has one before (drivers side vent) and one after the TB (Passinger side vent). And no its not just for emissions, did you read that link I gave you? Here is it again in case you missed it:

Heres a quote from it:
I'm thinking (could be wrong of course) the reason my V6 has one PCV hose in front of the TB and one after the TB is to setup a pressure gradient between the 2 vent hoses and increase flow. But I'm open to other ideas on why the Toyota engineers did that. I'm a believer in keeping things stock if you don't understand why the engineers did what they did.

 

As i mentioned...look in my signature. Its a buick 3.8L carbd..not fuel injected. The hose was run from the valve cover and into the aircleaner VIA a hole in the bottom of the aircleaner. It was like that when I got the truck from the PO.

 

My dads jeep has the same engine and the same hose and it needs to be connected, same was what were saying.

 

its wrong then, it should be hooked to a fitting that is a check valve.

 

Oh sorry, I had too much captain in my beer last night and totally missed that little detail. Note to self: stop typing after

After looking at your pic closer, I'd say look at drilling (and taping if its thick enough) that shiny air filter bracket thingy and screw a hose barb fitting into it. If you use a nut to hold the fitting in place be very carefull it doesn't come off and get sucked into the engine (very bad). Since it uses a carb you don't have to worry about unmetered air getting in, but you still should worry about unfiltered air getting past the air cleaner and use some sealer around the fitting threads.

Was there not a vent for the other valve cover on the other side?

 

I dnot think the other valve cover has a vent..i'll snap some pictures real quik

 

Here is a shot of the passenger valve cover....no PCV valve or vent.

OO and i lied..there is a valve on the driverside

 

On my 22r, there are two places on the intake. One is the PCV and runs into the intake, leave that one if possible. The other one runs from the VC to the top of the air filter. That one you can just put a small cartridge filter on and call it good.

The difference is the PCV will have a valve that sits in a rubber grommet on the VC, the other one will just connect with no valve.

 

You see all that oil on my valve covers? What the heck is that from? I just cleaned them maybe two weeks ago
