Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold
Thanks Coop.
I will attach the drawing for the part if anyone is interested. I used a Dorman dip stick grommet 65113 and a Fram FV181 PVC valve from a 75 Ford Mustang II 302 since my 8ba is a 276cc now. I just drilled and tapped the 1" spacer 3/4-16. |

Running an electric fuel pump on my Flathead Model A. I'm a cheap SOB and couldn't see spending $150 on a shorty Speedway pump stand. The diameter of the Henry stand at the X (first pic) is close (within a thou or two) to the bore of the 1" thick carb plate. The casting in this area is off a couple thou. Second pic is where I hacked off the Henry stand. Chucked it up in the South Bend to clean the cut up. Third pic is the new shorty stand pressed into the plate. Added a little anerobic sealant for good measure. Now to add the PCV adapter. -Ron 309970559_3307109212868759_2311086512866686262_n.jpg 309991445_3307110209535326_5009972368238460142_n.jpg 310223067_3307110666201947_6913522936601481946_n.jpg |

Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold
I would love to see pics of installing the PCV adapter.

Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold
A neat but complicated engineering project.
On a wet sump engine, I have done the crankcase breathing much simpler with all stock parts since the mid 50's. On an 8ba block I use an early (pre 49) manifold and just cut 1/2 inch off the top of the fill tube. I leave a 1/4 inch wide tab the height of the manifold deck to keep the tube from coming out. I use an original early oil fill/breather stand with mesh filled cap. Just like factory. No smoke or oil puking up to 7K rpm. |

Re: PCV VALVE SYSTEM for 8BA with Early Intake Manifold
Why didn't you run the PCV into the bottom of the intake manifold instead of routing a tube outside through the breather and then back into the manifold?
I'm not trying to be a pest but thinking about tapping directly to the bottom of the intake manifold so want to make sure there isn't something I'm missing. |
