FWIW, I’ve used this with success on stock motors. Didn’t work so well with the blower and high volume oil pump at high rpm. But you can install it in a valley pan without the rear draft opening.

Thanks Mike for the Heads up about these Grommets. I was not aware these are available. I want to use it in the Valley Cover as opposed to Valve Cover as I have a set of the Original Thunderbird Covers.

Thanks for the Offer Carl. Fair Price. My problem is shipping Cost to Canada which USPS is charging an Arm & a Leg now. I am going to try the Grommet that Miker pointed out. Stock Motor so I think should work OK.

Sorry Mark, I should have noted that I used it in the valley cover at the rear location. I’ve got the ‘bird valve covers too.

I got a TBird valley pan in excellent condition ready to install, but the shipping thing would still be a problem.
You need a shipping address near the border so you could cross over.

Miker, are you saying that you just drill a hole in a regular valley pan that doesn't have a baffle and install the grommet? Is there no problem with oil getting in it?

I used the previous version of their grommet, looked more like what I’d call a “duck bill” on both a stock bird cover and a finned aluminum cover. Worked fine till I went to the hi volume/pressure oil pump. And the supercharger and cam, and started winging it past 5500 rpm. Then I started to suck oil in. I added a baffle in the aluminum cover, but I’m still using one of those grommets. They’re made to go in a valve cover, but there’s a lot of oil flying around in most of those, too.
On a stock motor, I didn’t have a problem. RPM and boost complicated things.

I got the Grommets. I assume You still need another Grommet to fit the PCV and fit inside this One or will the PCV fit as is? Mine is just Stock Motor so I think this will work for Me in the Valley Cover.

What Size Hole do I need to cut for this Grommet?

Those are usually designed for a 1 1/4" hole. However, there can be quite a difference from one grommet to another. Measure the diameter of the grommet with a caliper, use a hole saw which is about a size under the desired diameter and then use a dremel to fit it to the grommet. That way you avoid making the hole to big.
If you use a 1 1/4" hole saw, it will be too big because hole saws are not extremely accurate cutting devices and the fact that the grommet may actually be a little smaller could make matters worse.

Sorry for taking this Topic away from original Posting. Does the PCV fit in this Grommet once installed or am I going to need another smaller Grommet to fit inside this One? I haven't really checked it as I am not installing in yet.

Most pcf valves fit into a 3/4" hole unless they are in an enclosure of some kind.
If it's just a pcv valve, then it's probably not going to fit that grommet. If in an enclosure, then it probably will fit that grommet.
I've used Moroso 68772 for the 3/4" id. There might be others. I do remember that there were far fewer options for 3/4" id baffled grommets than there are for, I think, 1" id.

If this link works, it shows the different sizes of grommets. Both the same od, but different id for oil fill, breather, or pvc. It doesn’t know if it’s in a valve cover or a valley cover.
