No mystery. It goes into the right cam cover--in place of the OEM one. Just pull the OEM one out and replace it with the 'new' valve.

There is no PCV valve on the opposite side(left cam cover)--from the factory--unless you or someone else has added one Dan

One thing I forgot to mention , I tightly slip fitted a 3/4 inch semi-ridged rubber hose over the outside of the factory PCV that is around 10 inches tall and rises vertically from the pass. cam cover. I put a peice of hose on the PCV valve outlet about 7 inches long with muitple holes in it which is of course inside the 3/4 line with mesh surrounding it. The 3/4 line connects to a separator that then connects to the tee going to the plenum and rear intake galley. I HAVE REMOVED THE RESTRICTION FOR NOW...
I see trace amounts of oil in the separator and have not needed to empty it .....there is no oil in the intake so far...not even a light residue. I did not want to post a pic because Its still in the "see what works stage" but I thought I would to better show the 3/4 in. tube line on the factory PCV.
ya ya I know it looks getto...

Thanks Rob...
After selling hundreds of my Lightning Enterprise PCV Kits on both my website as well as on Ebay and after having spent many hours of testing on my own vehicles I have complete faith in the kit...
I am proud to say that I have had only had one complaint in all of this time...that was somehow this kits driver's side assembly got put together backwards and by remedying this accidental oversight we have satisfied him as well...
It is refreshing to see you still endorse the product as you were one of the initial purchasers of this kit which doesn't allow any un-metered air into the A/F ratio equation nor does it stop up any lines with slugs, dimes, or marbles...
As much as you have modified, changed, raced and street driven your "L" in all types of conditions I find you to be the best unsolicited testimony I could ever have asked for...I thank you
You are well aware that the idea for the kit actually came from a similar aircraft design and originally derived with the help of USAhooters...who deserves the credit for the initial design...
