is this an OE early fomoco part/setup?
Saw this on a flathead for sale, caught my attention, is this a real early ford setup?

I don't know if that was available, or a one off home made deal.
Looks like an attempt at crankcse ventilation without a PCV valve. Sal |

My thoughts exactly, in my case I get a good bit of oil smoke and that would be ideal...

Period aftermarket accessory breather sometimes just routed down under the engine and not into the air cleaner. Regards, Kevin.

I was lucky as a kid to witness a crankcase explosion. A car was climbing the hill in front of my Uncle's Gulf station.
There was a loud BOOOM and the car had a rainstorm of oil and smoke beneath it. Naturally it was towed away.

No, it is not Ford OEM.

Really had nothing to do with 'emissions control' but had to do with the blow-by stink. Could be purchased at stores like J C Whitney etc.

Those breather tube filler caps were used on a lot of model As and may still be available. It was always an aftermarket item but I've never seen it used that way.

They Old Man had a 62 Falcon with blow by so bad that he put a piece of heater hose from the breather pipe to the air cleaner intake. Worked for him.
