So glad I found this thread. Can you tap into the PCV valve line? I have no other lines to easily tap in to. My PCV line runs straight from my manifold to the tappet cover with the valve on the tappet cover side. I simply want to add a piece of hose and T piece to the manifolds side and re attach the hose onto the extension without cutting it. Will this work? Will the valve opening and closing during throttle positions effect the reading? I want to install this weekend so any feedback would be greatly appreciated thanks.
