You also need to get a valley pan with a hole for the PCV valve grommet or drill a hole in a valve cover for it. Sal |

Is the draft tube right behind the fuel pump? If so I was wondering what that block off plate was for on my 56 T-Bird 312. If this is correct a block off plate from a Thunderbird will work.

Just make one, using the gasket as a template. 3/16 or 1/4 inch aluminum or 3/16 steel.

On our '60 292, I eliminated the road draft tube and installed a PCV there.

Any standard Ford or Chev fuel pump block off plate with its gasket can be used. Apply sealer to the bolt threads, and make sure the bolts are not too long.
