Where can I find a replacement PCV tube or how do I clean it out? Mine dosen't move air either way.... No matter how hard I blow through it. Right now I'm running without it. I'm sure it's helping kill my mpg... Gettin everything fixed one step at a time.
Also the larger vent hole in the VC.... Right now I have a cheepo breather jimmy rigged to it and the air box hole plugged.... Anyone have a better solution?

These don't have a PCV in the traditional sense. After doing some reading, I found the CCV (Crank Case Vent) system components and replaced both vacuum harnesses and the CCV tube which I found on ebay for a reasonable price.

Check out the link I posted. There's part numbers listed and you can pick em up at the dealer. I don't think there's anywhere else really that you can get that tube

I was able to clean mine by hanging it up and filling it up with spray carb cleaner and letting it sit, followed by compressed air. Try it first.

Will do... I was thinking something along those lines, but didn't know if carb cleaner would weaken or melt the plastic.

That's for the system on an HO motor. The RENIX valve cover / ccv system is different and has different parts.

Well let it be a lesson that the OP lets everyone know the specs (year, motor, etc) when posting. Otherwise us folks who use the app just have to assume.

So yeah, didn't know you had a Renix. You can ignore that link I posted

It didn't hurt my line at all. I let it sit for 2 min. and all kinds of carbon and oil came out with the air. I used audozone brand with the V-8 w/ the chrome air cleaner on the can. The valuecraft brand carb cleaner is kerosene or something cause it takes DAYS to dry. The good stuff is like .50 more a can. If it doesn't burn your nose, It's no good. BTW brake cleaner WILL melt some plastics.
