Wow, I didn't know that. I don't remember my '66 Galaxie having a PCV valve, but then I only had it for a year, and that was about 100 years ago. I do know that the '68 Mustang, which I drove well into the '90s, had no air pump. And now that I think about it, my earlier description of its PCV plumbing was wrong: A hose ran from the breather cap to the air filter housing; the PCV hose went to the intake. (As if any of this mattered...)

ok guys, i changed the pcv valve(had to spend 15 bucks for set of crows foot wrenches) and that seems to have it running better. i don't know about the oil in the intake yet, i'll check it in a few days and see if it stopped.
