.When You convert it You will be removing the Road Draft Tube Assembly. Some Members buy a Block off Plate. You can use a Cup type Frost Plug to plug the Hole and screw in a couple of Bolts with flat Washers to fill the tapped Holes in the Block.

  

That’s not a bad idea. Thank you.

If things work out right, I’ll have a blank off plate in my hands from the local fab shop by Friday. I noticed the gasket is not quite symmetrical. The holes are offset a little.
Still wondering about being able to tee the new road draft PVC valve into the brake vacuum line? Don’t want to find out the hard way on that question

you can buy a plate that goes under your carb to hook up to

A VW fuel pump block off plate will fit the breather hole in the block perfectly.

Torv,

This will answer/solve your problem. If you have the ECG-B manifold.

Why not just fix the problem?  The road draft breather is leaking for one of two reasons both simple fixes, the return tube in the breather is clogged, or the breather cover is not sealing because it's on wrong, bent, or has a bad gasket. Take the assembly off the engine, clean it, inspect it and replace it with a new gasket on the engine, and where the cover sits. I've bought at least 10 y-block Fords that i was told had leaking engines that I fixed by cleaning the road draft breather.

That one only fits the A manifold.  The Tbird suppliers sell one for the B manifold

What valve are you planning on using?

Off the top of my head..running the PVC connected to the brake booster line, may not be a good idea, but I've never seen any definate info on that, so?
