I'm working on a ford 302 for a Mustang 16 restore and want to check if these hoses look ok. One side valve cover has a hose to the spacer under the carb and the other side valve cover has a PCV valve and hose to the spark arrestor. I'm seeing a lot of different options so wanted some feedback. Just about ready to fire this thing up for the first time.

You got it sdrawkcab, that's backwards spelled backwards  The hose from the PCV valve should go to the spacer and the other hose would go to the spark arrestor. With that setup though, how do you add oil to the engine? You must have to pop out an elbow and grommet. Why not have an oil fill cap with an elbow on it and the hose from that to the flame arrestor? |

Here's a picture of what I described
 Or here's another way to do it with no hose to the flame arrestor, but in both cases the PCV valve hose goes to the spacer and the PCV valve in both pictures is at the rear of the right valve cover

Unbelievable, that's how I was putting it and I did it backwards. Thanks. So once I switch it'll be good? Those grommets just twist out easily. I had a tough time finding something to fit those covers.
