Re: MOPAR PCV use?

Re: 4-7 psi cap for Griffin radiator?

As stated the six screws that hold the top and bottom sections together can be removed to rotate to a position that works.

The only issue I can visualize using a performance cam with the FordOmatic is if using one requires a higher idle speed.
