If I'm correct, and I could be wrong, the tube into the manifold is drawing
the blowby gases into via the manifold vacuum. The air from the air-hat is
drawn in to fill that void. The PVC valve works to prevent manifold air
from going back into the crankcase when the manifold vacuum is less than
the crankcase's. I believe that is under acceleration, at least when I
accelerated the old 50 Chevy the vacuum windshield wipers came to a stop,
however they went real fast when I was coasting or going downhill.
