Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
All I know is that it works. The Max1 is not a radical cam.
There may be a valve that “fits” better, but I’m pleased.
If you know of a better pcv valve for my engine, give me a part # please........

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
This particular valve is a Borg Warner PV255. It is built to use horizontally. Same valve that’s used on the road draft tube of a mid-late 60s SBC. 1/4” pipe thread on block end.
Hope it works well....

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Once I find out how well it works, I’ll change the rubber line to copper.
I should have the tube that goes under the manifold by the weekend.
Thanks for everyone’s help.

Then I’ll get...

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Thanks Merc! I’ve seen those before! I think I can easily perform that minor surgery on my Navarro.
Thanks so much for your assistance!
Maybe with that modification I can run one vacuum fitting...

I’m running the two end carbs....center is blocked off. It runs much better running the two end carbs directly connected to each other than with 3 running progressive. I can, at this point easily add...

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Hey Merc!
What if I cut a 3/8” or so 1/2” deep slot between the two holes where the carb would go (which now has a block off plate)to join the left and right plenum. The left and right plenums are...

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
That’s where I’ve decided to put a pcv valve. The way my manifold is designed, I’m going to need to pickup vacuum from each side of the manifold.....so I don’t lean out any cylinders. I don’t really...

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Thanks 1940.....I'll look into that also.
Wayne at Dennis Carpenter says they have one in a NOS part #! I can't order it until Monday because they are running a short crew today(understandable)....

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Thanks.....I don’t, but can probably find that piece and build one if I have to.
I would not have known that if you hadn’t brought it to my attention!

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Thanks....looked there. I also put it in the parts wanted section.
I think the tube has an OD of 1 5/16”.
I don’t imagine many of these got discarded or saved.
Maybe I can find an old block...

Where can I buy the part of a road draft tube that comes up from the block up to the intake manifold? My 53 Merc is running an early Navarro manifold so there’s no road draft setup.
