Where can I get these fittings? (PCV related)

[xhaust50]

I'm trying to redo the PCV system with a catchcan on my 90GSX as detailed in the ongoing PCV thread. The car's previous owner replaced some of the fittings with a breather. If I knew the names and sizes of what I need before going into a hardware store that would be great:

1. The fitting that goes into the intake manifold (holds the vacuum line coming from the PCV)
2. The fitting that goes into the valve cover (it's like a straight pipe - vacuum line goes to the intake pipe)

Thanks.

5/16" hose

This has 1/8" NPT threads. Like mentioned above, get a fitting with a 5/16" barb on it.

Where the fittings capped off? The line coming off the back of the calve cover is your PCV valve. The line coming off the left (passenger side) of the valve cover isn't removable, it should be routed straight to the intake pipe. The fitting on the runner of the intake manifold (if missing) that the PCV is routed to might be difficult to find. When I powder coated mine, I misplaced it and couldn't find anything that fit. Found one at a pick a part.

Thanks, for the #1 info.

#2 I'm talking about the side of the valve cover that goes to the intake pipe, not the PCV on the top of the valve cover that goes to the intake manifold. It's a straight pipe. Not sure if I can get it at a hardware store. Any idea?

Do you have any pics? I have never seen a valve cover with that fitting missing. I've seen straight and I've seen 90 degree bends but never missing.

Sorry, it is not missing. It is a 90 degree bend, which I figured was something rigged up because I can easily remove it and also my 93 has a straight piece. I guess this is the original part then.

That is correct...now you just need a check valve from US Plastics and a couple Husky catch cans from Home Depot and your set.

Just ordered a few check valves. I will be hitting up Home Depot tomorrow. Thanks.
