I understand the want / need for a PCV - but why would someone consider a US$129 priced "dual path" version?

Why do you want a PCV valve?

If you want a suugestion for a starting point for a PCV valve I used one for a 302 Ford initially. Too much airflow so I went to one for a 4 cylinder which worked very well.
What's confuses the matter is the Microgard PCV-202 that Ted suggests is list for any from a 302 Ford all the way up to a 460 and everything in between...  [/quote]
Like I said its trial and error.What works on one engine may not work on another.Like everything else fuel related there are variables like camshaft,timing,etc.I found with my stock engine the 302 valve flowed too much air.The idle was terrible.The 4 cylinder one has a smaller size passageway.You can also restrict the airflow as I mentioned if its too lean.The PCV valve is just a flow control depending on vacuum and internal size.
Mark, what I was referring to is the same PCV valve is used in such a wide range of engine sizes, not that the one Ted suggested would not work on a 292.

Awesome. Now, since my vacuum wipers are connected to it at the moment, would it be a problem it I had both the pvc valve and wipers connected to that one port at the same time?

Yes,that would work.For the proper PCV valve,go to a parts store and get a valve for a 64 F-100 truck with a 292 engine.I know NAPA has them and probably most other stores do also.That port in front of your carb is just about where the original on the 64 pickup was mounted.

Awesome guys, this helps me a lot. And thanks for all of the links for me to read up on. I wonder if there is any type of adapter I can install into the road draft hole that allows me to mount the pcv valve without modifying the current mounting surface. Maybe I could get a junk road draft tube support (The part that screws into the valley cover) and weld some pipe to the opening and drill and tap that instead. Sound reasonable?

If you don't have a place to hook it up to at the carb or spacer you can drill and tap for a fitting under the car in the maniifold.Do not hook it up at the back of the intake just because there is a vacuum fitting there.You will lean out the back cylinders.Needs to be as close to centre as possible.Makes a big difference as far as fumes(gassy smell) in the garage when the car sits for awhile and its much cleaner than the fumes just escaping to the air.Is the port in front of the carb that the vacuum wipers connect to a usable port? I would think so.Close enough to centre. If you want a suugestion for a starting point for a PCV valve I used one for a 302 Ford initially.Too much airflow so I went to one for a 4 cylinder which worked very well.You can also use a restrictor in the line to cut down the airflow.Trial and error.You will notice too much airflow at idle.Too lean a mixture. .
