Well, my friend bought me this as a random little gift.

However i have no clue where i install it at.

Can someone toss up a picture with an arrow pointing to the location or something lol. Some people tell me its near the alternator, some tell me its out of the valve cover.

Thanks very much.

If i can't find where it goes i may hang it from my rear view mirror.

No, According to Haynes repair manual :

Its located at the drive belt end of the motor, under the intake manifold, and attatched the the breather separator.Access is very difficult from the top.

From the pic it shows a tube going into one end, and the pcv valve is screwed into a small box (breather separator)

it would be wise to get it from the bottom.

Hope that helps
