I meant to say valve cover caps.How do I get rid of this problem. My intake does not have a vacuum port (victor jr.) and I need to find a way to stop this problem. The large vacuum on my carb (proform 750) is utilized by my brake booster. I have a vacuum canister, but I have no where to hook it up. Anyone know what I could do to resolve this problem..

How do I resolve this problem? I have a vacuum canister but I have no open ports on my carb (750 proform) the only one I have is being used for my brake booster. Can I run a pcv valve on both valve covers running from the two small ports on the carb? or does that spell bad news. My intake (victor jr.) has no vacuum ports at all.

if you have a carb spacer drill a hole in it and put a short piece of steel brake line.i was trying to set the four corner idle on my holley carb and it doesnt have a vac port on it. put a little silicone to seal the tubing into the spacer, you can tap the manifold also. maybe even look into an evacuation system from the valve covers to the collectors

Make sure you don't have mufflers on your car if your using an evac.
I took the breathers out of my valve covers and ran evac to the headers.

Top of fourth gear it pushed oil out the valve covers and started missing out. The back pressure from the mufflers messes up the evac.

it depends on what kind of mufflers you are running, i have dynomax bullets on my car and they work fine with the evac system
