after reviewing the diagram again, I"m a little confused. PCV valves are self regulating and work on vacuum, so the connection should be to the intake manifold, not the air filters, right? As drawn, the valves don"t really do anything, blow by just gets sent to the air intake. Dennis Jack Riddell wrote: > > Hi Dennis, > > Are you referring to an air inlet to the air conditioner motor? If that is the one you mean, the answer is no. The A/C that came with my car is a Borletti system that uses and American compressor (soon to be replaced by a Sanden unit). It uses a pair of squirrel cage blowers driven by an electic motor and simply recirculates the air inside the car. On the other hand, there are two outside air inlets on the 400"s on either side just forward of the windshield that will allow fresh outside air into the cabin area. I usually leave them open until the A/C gets cold then shut both sides. > > B/R, > > Jack
