Need to change the PCV valve on my 1990 5.0 bronco.

Info & pic, 1 port vs. 2 port for 5.0; "...That's a genuine Ford PCV valve. It's stock two port top (top of pic); makes it difficult to fit under the upper intake on an EFI 5.0 engine. Buy an aftermarket single port(lower in pic) and use the top on the Ford PCV..." miesk5 Note, often the rubber cap on the top port pops off.

Vacuum Supply Hose Rerouting in 87-93 5.0 Bronco, F Series & vans; Failure of the #8 piston or the #8 rod or rod bearing; "...Failure of the #8 piston or the #8 rod or rod bearing in Ford 5.0L, V-8 gas engines. Solution: During engine installation, reroute the PCV valve vacuum supply hose. Follow these steps: Plug the 3/8" (pipe) thread hole in the rear of the plenum where the PCV valve hose is connected. Drill and tap a 3/8" pipe thread hole in the center of the plenum and thread the PCV connector into it. Reconnect the PCV valve vacuum supply hose to the new location. Be sure the drain hole in the baffle is open. The baffle is under the PCV location in the valve cover. Installers who have rerouted the PCV system and opened the baffle drain hole have not reported any #8 cylinder failures..." by fourstarengines.com via
