PCV Valve & Integrated non-integrated 250 head question

[fivekitten]

Please bear with me, I'm clueless and usually just reading everybody's posts and looking at pictures.

I have a 76 chevy c-10 pickup, 250 inline and just had the integrated head switched over to a non-integrated head from a 70 250 jimmy a few weeks ago. Thus, new (used) intake manifold (thanks to two wonderful guys in Greenville TN).

Traveled a lot pulling a trailer. Abused my poor truck. Had transmission seal replaced a week later after spending (literally more than) $300 on transmission fluid inching up the the expressway in the Blue Ridge Mountains hoping to make it...somewhere......thank God for Max Meadows...

Anyhow, home now. Engine seems to be burning hot and not happy shifting, but guessing I've gone through a lot of pressure changes. Hoping it's smoking cause of fluids burning off or new gaskets. (think not.)

While checking fluids and pondering problems, found out the pcv valve was disconnected and it just popped off. (admittedly, I spent 2 hours trying to find out that the part in my hand was in fact a pcv valve.)

So, what I'm wondering (I've read other pcv valve posts here and wikipedia and autozone, that's the extent of my education), if I had the cylinder head changed, and an intake manifold changed, would the pcv valve connection still be the same as in an original 76 250 inline with an integrated head diagram that's on autozone? Or would it have changed because of the change in manifold? Although I can't remember now what the manifold came off of.

I guess I'm just wondering if the pcv valve would still be hooked up the same if I went from an integrated cylinder head to a non-integrated one. That one sentence is probably all I needed Sorry for rambling!

Figure you 70s jimmy guys would know best and all my friends (cough, one friend, one neighbor) are sleeping.

Thanks for any help!
