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?

As slick56 mentions, the search function will bring up quite a bit on PCV valve installations. Here are a few links to get you started. The search function will bring up more.

Blocking off the road draft tube

Crankcase evacuation

Finned valley pan and PCV valve installation

Installation of PCV valve into the top of the block

Installation of PCV valve at top and rear of block 2

Modifying valve covers for PCV valve installation

Valley pan PCV valve installation

Valve cover baffle for PCV valve

Why a PCV valve system?

.

And here are pictures of a couple of pcv valve installations that were performed recently. This is reasonably cut and dried if you’re already using the valley cover that accommodates the rear road draft tube. Simply knock down the stud boss in the center of the hole and install the appropriate sized rubber grommet. The PCV valves I’ve been using lately for the Y conversions are the Microgard PCV-202 or Fram FV197. The hose for the valve simply hooks to the back of the carb or to a port in a spacer under the carb.

More like questions. Okay, I have a 292 from 1959. It has the original road draft tube installed into the valley cover, original 2100 two barrel carburetor from 59, and not many modifications. Here are a few photos:

Now, from what I understand, the pcv valve needs to go into the valley cover where the road draft goes into and somehow hook into the carb. What would I need to buy / modify to accept a pcv system? And does that small oval cover plate near the oil pan and fuel pump do anything?
