Intake (rear of) 390CI

[stork]

I'm sure there will be a few responses to this question so forgive me in advance if this topic has already been discussed:

At the rear of the intake manifold is a threaded hole which I think is supposed to house a portion of the PCV set up. Question is what are the parts that are needed to put this back into function, is there a diagram or some kind of photo to use a reference and are the parts readily available.

My dad passed away in May of this year and we've had the 62 bird since I was 17 (I am now 47) I had always told him to take care of this manifold matter but he never did, he has now left the vehicle in care of my 23 year old son and I. We would like to move forward with repairing any loose ends with the car.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

The PCV set up on those Birds was simply a replacement for the road draft tube. On the very rear of the manifold there should be a 1 1/2 - 2 " hole with a fitting that bolts it down. If you lift it off you'll see a rats nest of steel wire. The top of this fitting should have a rubber hose, a steel hose that will point at the threaded hole, rubber again and the the PCV valve till screw into the inake runner. Get a manual. Best money you'll spend on the car!

Thanks, I was just shopping around now for a shop manual. Currently there is just the threaded hole at the rear of the manifold. That's why I was searching for answers on the actual set up. I will have to replace the entire assembly from scratch.
