I know there are tons of threads on putting a PCV on the Y block but I'm not having luck with the search feature...

I'll be replacing head gasket(s) this winter (only one is leaking...Should I do both?).

The valley cover on the '59 292 in my Model A has no provision for a PCV.  Nothing on Ebay right now.  Do I want to just modify the one I have and if so, any suggestions on making a baffle so the oil doesn't get sucked into the carb?  I found some Moroso brand grommets with built in baffles but I don't know how well they'd work...one of the reviews all but confirmed my concerns.

Thanks.

The only true way (IMO) to fashion a functioning FYB PCV SYSTEM without opening the rocker cover(s), is to use the OEM setup as was used on the 1961-62 FORD/MERC PASS CAR (2V) or 1961-64 292 TRUCK (2V/4V) The 4V is preferable but the 2V SYSTEM can be modified. 

The shield under the rear of the valley cover is a SPLASH SHIELD designed to deflect oil splash from the DIST DRIVE. This will not prevent ingestion of fumes/mist into the PCV SYSTEM. The bell shaped adapter (baffle) is designed to do that along with the long metal cooling tube (allows vapor(s) to cool and drop back down.

The front baffle on the valley pan is also needed to direct ventilation draw to the rocker arm areas.

These setups shouldn't be that hard to find as farmers are still using old trucks or have then sitting in the yard.

CASCO advertises being able to modify and early pan to PCV/late ROAD DRAFT. Have no idea of the quality.
