Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold

Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold

Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold

Is this bracket with the two "U"-shaped slots the "reinforcement" that you're referring to? If so, that bracket is required as a solid and steadying attachment point for the bottom of the starter...

Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold

You MAY (or may not) have to trim that baffle in the Mercury pan to clear the Ford pick-up tube. You also should beware of the possible difference in proximity of the Ford pick-up with the bottom of...

Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold

Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold

Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold

Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold
