Reply to "To PCV or Not to PCV??"

rapierMember

I have the same problem.
When I got my Pantera the PCV valve was connected to the base of the Holley. The rolling road guy disconnected it as it was turning the mixture too lean.
But the stock way of connecting the pipe from the PCV is to the air filter - so it won't affect the mixture (am I right?).
My other rocker cover is connected to the carbon canister - is this so that fumes from the fuel tank go to the canister and then these are sucked out, right through motor, through the PCV, through the carb and then burnt?
(I think I read of something similar on Triumph Stags - but my memory is not reliable).
Is this how it's meant to be connected?
Any recommendations of the best way?

Also - I think I was once told that the oil fumes from the engine can encourage detonation/pinking/pinging - does that sound right?
