Open Positive

In the open positive system the oil filler cap is vented. The road draft tube is either plugged or removed. Blow-by vapors are drawn into the intake manifold through a hose coming from the rocker cover. The PCV valve is used to control the amount of vapors drawn into the intake manifold. Fresh air enters through the vented oil filler cap.
