I'd never paid attention to it, but after taking my intake off today I see that it has two PCV valves installed, on on the valve cover and one cover below the intake (intake valley pan?). Both run to a port on the intake, just in front of the carb. 67 firebird supplement shows one setup using the valve cover and one using a valve behind the carb I think.
Any reason that there would be two installed? If it matters, valve covers are the sealed type (no breather).

Originally there was a pvc valve in valley pan and the hole in valve cover was a tube that went to the breather connected to a little filter.

The Felpro intake gasket set comes with it. Napa part FPG MS9980 but the felpro set at napa cost 22.99. Summit is 13.97.
That is the only option I see where it is in the intake gasket sets. Maybe they can match up a o-ring from out of the kit.

Ya, only reason I asked was shipping from Ames was $10 on a $2 seal. I'll just order two from them.
Thanks again Harold.
