Re: 46 ford misfire
I’d replace the condenser 1st. Cheap and easy. Sounds like a similar situation I had some years ago.

Re: Internal Breather Tube
You can try an ad in the "parts wanted" section of this forum, but be aware that the scammers watch it big time. I did, and immediately had three responses from scammers.....they are easy to spot!

Re: Internal Breather Tube
I have one.....what’s your address.
PM me.....I’ll ship it in the morning...free. A couple of guys on here did the same for me a couple of weeks ago and I ended up with an extra.

Its on the right(passenger) side. It’s a truck pan with a clean out. I didn’t know that it’s on the opposite side from normal......interesting

Re: Oil drip off of starter
I think I figured it out.
Before I installed a pcv valve I did have a small bit of oil coming out of the dipstick tube around the dipstick after hard highway runs. I was constantly wiping residual...

I have one slight oil leak on my flathead....just a few small drops of motor oil coming from the tip of my starter. It’s not coming from above the starter. I first thought it was coming from the...

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
All I know is that it works. The Max1 is not a radical cam.
There may be a valve that “fits” better, but I’m pleased.
If you know of a better pcv valve for my engine, give me a part # please........

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Finished the pcv valve install last night.

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
This particular valve is a Borg Warner PV255. It is built to use horizontally. Same valve that’s used on the road draft tube of a mid-late 60s SBC. 1/4” pipe thread on block end.
Hope it works well....

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Once I find out how well it works, I’ll change the rubber line to copper.
I should have the tube that goes under the manifold by the weekend.
Thanks for everyone’s help.

Then I’ll get...

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Thanks Merc! I’ve seen those before! I think I can easily perform that minor surgery on my Navarro.
Thanks so much for your assistance!
Maybe with that modification I can run one vacuum fitting...

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Hey Merc!
What if I cut a 3/8” or so 1/2” deep slot between the two holes where the carb would go (which now has a block off plate)to join the left and right plenum. The left and right plenums are...

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
That’s where I’ve decided to put a pcv valve. The way my manifold is designed, I’m going to need to pickup vacuum from each side of the manifold.....so I don’t lean out any cylinders. I don’t really...

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Thanks 1940.....I'll look into that also.
Wayne at Dennis Carpenter says they have one in a NOS part #! I can't order it until Monday because they are running a short crew today(understandable)....

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube
Thanks.....I don’t, but can probably find that piece and build one if I have to.
I would not have known that if you hadn’t brought it to my attention!
