    Got a 71 CJ5 w/ the Buick 225 V6. The hose going from the air cleaner to the PCV valve is ripped and I can't find a replacement anywhere. No luck after searching the forum either. Anyone got a source?

    I thought it was just regular hose from NAPA? Or they could at least order one if you needed the special curve?

    It's definately a custom piece on mine. It has special lips/plugs to go into the driver side valve cover and the air cleaner.

    Hose coming from the air cleaner to the valve cover is a air breather hose. The pcv valve should be on the other valve cover. FYI.;)

    You should be able to get any hose that is the size of the fitting. No need for a special hose. Any one will do. It just gets the fresh air from the air cleaner. It's not like fuel or oil goes through it.

    Thanks for the correction Scott, that's actually why I edited it say 'driver's side', wasn't sure if it was the PCV or not. I'll pop it off tonite and do some closer examination.

    OK, still looking for a suitable vent hose, [​IMG]

    Where o where does one find the vent hose and correct crankcase vent that plugs into the valve cover? I found the grommets, and can locate several different types of crankcase vent assy, none of them are like the part shown in the pic. Looked for Buick, Jeep, GM parts, no luck? Thanks for any help!
