Hey guys, got the PCV installed and truck back from the shop. I guess the cam is more loopey than I thought. He adjusted my carb and said the secondary was stuck open. It idles a lot better now and I can definitely feel the cam even more. The vacuum is 11 with a 19 base and 40 total. He stated that this is as good as he can get it without specs on the Cam. I confirmed the oil leaks are coming from the dist, valve covers and intake manifold. My question is since they are already leaking do I need to replace these gaskets or should the PCV install fix this issue. He said typically once they are leaking they won't stop until they are replaced.
