Default need a strange part...

I bent the **** out of my nipple/fitting for the valley cover pcv system, and I'm really having trouble trying to find one...

i'd probably drive to your house and give you a hug if you could link me to where I would be able to find it.

thanks.

I want to do a search, but I'm not sure which part this is.

Edit: Nevermind...I've just looked, and I know what you mean.

The hose barb on the front of the ls6 valley cover? Don't know if you can buy it. A new cover is like $85 shipped. GMPN 12568002 per LS1howto.

Is your valley a 2004 +?
After reading a bunch, the 2004 & beyond valleys have an orifice built in to the tube. The orifice eliminates the need for the pcv.
Those previous to 2004 have the plain tube.
I had nothing to do, so I've been searching. So far, I haven't found anything for just the tube.

Remove the old one and replace with a piece of stock pipe and JB Weld.
Or, replace with a suitable sized threaded fitting.

i actually just ended up getting the hole as round as I could, and putting a little bit of JB Weld around it, and putting it back in the hole. Hopefully it works well.
