Where is the pcv valve on a 1987 Lincoln Town Car?

On a 1987 Lincoln Town Car (assuming it has the common 5.0L V8), the PCV valve is typically located on the valve cover, near the back (firewall side) of the engine. It's usually a small, usually black, plastic or metal valve with a hose connected to it.

However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine configuration and any modifications. A good approach would be to:

1. Consult a repair manual: A Chilton's or Haynes repair manual specific to your 1987 Lincoln Town Car will have a diagram showing the exact location. This is the most reliable method.

2. Look closely at the valve covers: Start by examining the valve covers on both sides of the engine. The PCV valve is often easily visible, especially if you look towards the back near the firewall.

3. Trace the PCV hose: If you can locate the hose that runs from the intake manifold to the valve cover, you can follow it back to find the valve.

Remember to be careful when working around the engine; it's hot when it's been running.
