I'm going to add a PCV hooked up to the rear of my spacer. Should I up the front and or rear jets too ?
I was thinking with the added air maybe I should go up two jet sizes front and rear ?------------------

I'd run it, do a plug read... but I doubt the PCV make a significant difference in carb calibration. If anything, your rear two cylinders (4 and 8) might read just a touch darker. I increased the plug gap a few thou to help burn off the small presence of oil vapor. You will want baffled valvecovers however  ------------------

Maybe I'm wrong about what a baffle is, but my valve covers have a plate between the rockers and the vent/pcv/oil fill holes.So you can't reach into the hole and feel the rocker,only the plate. I thought that was a baffle do I need something different too ?------------------
