To start with, to those who call it snake oil, I will agree to agree, now to the others.
I am planning on adding an inverse oiler. I have reached the conclusion that if it only gives me piece of mind, than that is worth something. Now I need to mount unit.
Unit has not arrived so bottle location will have to wait, my question is related to where to feed oil line into engine at.
Marvels site mentioned not having on same line that dizzy advance is. Which I think I can understand that. Gearge at ampco mentioned tee into pcv valve line. I thought pcv was a one way valve, letting fumes go out to air breather, but blocking air (or in my case mmo)from entering .
any input related to oil line installation is greatly appreciated.

Why not at the front port of the intake manifold where the cruise control connects.
If you can mount the bottle under the right hood, you could store extra MM oil in the battery tray.

Brian,

PS to my first reply. The original pcv valve plumbing on the GMC goes into the carburetor base, pulling fumes through the crankcase. I suggested the vacuum port so your oiler would have a steady source of vacuum and to maintain the dedicated line for the pcv system.
