Default Re: breather with PCV tube or PCV valve?

As there is more than one way to skin a cat, here is how I did it on both of my flatheads. Using a Borg Warner #382 PCV valve and a Ford Grommet for a 75 through 94 PCV Valve. It fits into the galley breather opening and is connected by hose to the carb base on the manifold. The pan breather is plugged with shim stock. The reason for the particular Borg Warner PCV valve is the specs. It is; Closed at idle, 16 to 18 in hg; Floats at 8 to 16 in hg; Open at 1 to 6 in hg. Granted, it doesn't hide the fact that you have a PCV valve as is pictured previously, but it is easy to do and does not have any adverse dffect on the operation of the motor. It also keeps the underside of the engine/transmission clean.
