PCV systems on the smallblocks
I grabbed some parts off a 63 galaxie with a 260 that had the PCV on the intake,yesterday I was in a local old junkyard gathering the rest of the parts to make the 302 look older and found that most 64 and up had the PCV in the pass side valve cover and then I found a 65 Fairlane that had a road draft tube attached to the pass valve cover.I thought all motors had to have a PCV around 62 or 63 so was 65 the last year for a road draft tube.

Re: PCV systems on the smallblocks
Yes, where it was to be sold new had a great deal to do with original equipment. Being from Minnesota, all the cars I saw had a battery that was a big grunt to lift, and a radiator the size of a big heater core. While scrounging a junk yard while in Oklahoma in the mid sixties, I found radiators big enough to cool a truck, and a battery that I could throw to the county line. Later, while working on the motor line at Ford, I found that alternator size, fan size, and other things that were different from place to place.

Yes I think 65 was the last year.

Re: PCV systems on the smallblocks
I have a 292 from a 62 galaxie that has a road draft tube and figured that was about the last year,I grabbed all the PCV parts from a 292 in a 63 or 64 truck in a junkyard.Maybe the 65 had a earlier motor but I think the 62 and I know the 63 small blocks had the ventilation system hooked to the rear of the intake,the 65 had the tube hooked to the valve cover where a PCV would go and was a factory part.

The road draft tube (and PCV valve were moved to the rocker cover in later production as it was a more efficient design. The rocker cover road draft will/should have the oil fill/ventilation cat (open system) on the left rocker cover. Below is an early production MUST with road draft provision. Both road draft and PCV used the same intake for the period. All for the want of a BLACK ink cartridge...

Re: PCV systems on the smallblocks
OK, you've convinced me. Just real odd Ford would switch to a pcv on the soon-to-be out of production 292" Y-block, along with the FE (and maybe others) in '61/'62, but would use the road draft on a brand new engine family all the way to '65.

Re: PCV systems on the smallblocks
That PCV system I got from the 63 260 bolts where this road draft tube attaches.

Re: PCV systems on the smallblocks
Road draft was absolutely used in the 1965 model year. Absolutely.

Re: PCV systems on the smallblocks
I have a friend who bought a 1965 Comet with an A code 289 4bbl brand new. Still has the car and the road draft tube that came with it. The road draft tube was attached to the right side valve cover. This car was delivered in Long Island, NY. So the answer is, yes some 1965 Fords came with a road draft crankcase ventilation system.

Re: PCV systems on the smallblocks
Back to Back, My friends 65 Comet 289 2bbl has a road draft tube. His Grandmother bought new at Mc Coy Ford Lincoln Mercury. So we have two Comets in row!

Re: PCV systems on the smallblocks
When and if this all goes togather I have a 66 4 bbl intake that has the provision and the three threaded holes for that PCV system but the larger hole is not drilled so it will have to be machined.

Re: PCV systems on the smallblocks
They were delivered different ways. Some had a plug in the hole. Some had nothing but a flat place where it went. Some had the threaded holes for fasteners, but no opening for the gases.

Re: PCV systems on the smallblocks
The PCV on the EFI is a pain to get to.
