Kinda' difficult to describe what I'm going to do. I'll have pics of it when I make the modification. There will be one hole in the carb mounting plate between them and the PCV will mount below the plate. Tube will run from PCV to the oil filler stand. Then a tube will run vertically between the carbs into the air cleaner base. With this set up there will be no siphoning off of the manifold vacuum for the PCV. I will only be using vacuum for my distributor.
Read a post on the HAMB that was very thought provoking. He pointed out that a PCV on the bottom side of the carburetor is a controlled air leak (I knew that) but it makes for a leaner condition and a lean running condition leads to higher temperature. So, while we all agree that PCV's are good, trying to hide them under the manifolds might lead to higher temperatures in our already hot running flatmotors. Does that follow?
Sorry, fever, kinda hi-jacked your thread. My bad.
