    rocker cover breather to carb

    i have rover rocker covers on my rv8 with an Edlebrock carb. i am trying to figure out how to connect the two together. Do you go off the flame trap and into the front of the carb or do you replace the flame trap with a pcv valve? if you replace the flame trap where do you source the pcv valve, please?

    James.

    A figure eight followed by close brackets is translated as the "Smiley Face" emoji. If you put a space between them it leaves them as characters.

    no space (V

    space ( V8 )

    Endless fun!!! - just like building a kit car!

    Thanks for the clarification Ian. I haven't got to grips with the emoji yet as I am still strugling with text speak.
