I should have said something yesterday, I knew you pulling on the breather elbow, not the pcv . Sorry.

Its 436 and they are just stock heavy duty truck plugs. The 3923's are cooler than stock. No need to use them if you have fixed your plenum, cat,o2's and checked for the death flash. In which case you'll want a tuner, and depending on what you purchase for a tuner, you may want to use the 3923's. I suggest you do some reading around here on DF.

Go get dealer PCV. I got one from O,O,O,O'Reillys and also thought had a rattler in the dash. Tracked down the racket to oversized PCV. Didn't notice it until after relpacing valve cover gaskets. Side note: I reused stock steel pan on plenum repair.
afraid it might have blown again, did the vacuum gauge in breather hose with PCV hose blocked off. Went for 25 seconds and got positive flow of 2-3 lbs, no vacuum.
