pcv valve

[bob8619]

GA_googleFillSlot("Forums_ROS_300x250_noad");i own a 1975 cadillac sedan deville, it runs rough but not too bad, today i took it on the highway for the first time and once i got home i realized it was smoking. i opened the oil cap and it appeared to be smoking from in there, it might have been over heating but i didnt smell any coolant smell, what all will cause your oil to smoke? i also realized that the pcv valve is not there, its gone. could that cause what im experiencing? any help would be greatly appreciated

The crankcase has to breathe somehow what took the place of the pcv and the hose and the valve cover seal?

nothing as far as i can tell, its just a hole in the valve cover, i dont know how long its been like that either i just bought it two weeks ago

Get the grommet, pcv and hose assy, it should hook up to a large port on the Quadrajet, in the front I believe.
