Re: 8BA block
The one on the left side in the skirt near the oil pan? It is the return line from the by-pass oil filter back to the oil pan.

Re: 8BA block
Yes, it is a nice setup, but it isn't mine. I don't like the looks of the alternators on a flathead! I run an alternator, but it is one converted by Whitney to look original.

Re: 8BA block
I use an 1-1/4 grommet the fits right in the manifold hole, the PCV will fit right in the hole, you should use a PCV that's pretty close to same cubic inch has your engine, I use one that has a 90 degree on the top so the hose will lay along the intake. Walt

Re: 8BA block
It will most likely blow the PCV out of the grommet if it is building up pressure and it will run poorly if it is bleeding off to much vacuum.

bleeding to much vac. means I have chosen the wrong pcv valve? there was not much to go on for the choice, the parts guy didn't seem to know how the cu. in. info worked. cliff |

Re: 8BA block
That has been my experance, if you don't have the information there is no way the guys behind the counter will know anything. The NAPA site sometimes has a link that allows you to see all the applications for a part then you could figure out a c.i. for it.

I work on 5.0 mustangs a lot and than is an area that can be a problem is blowing the PCV and/or grommet out, but that is normally because they get old and hard, guess I was thinking more along that line. I really don't see how you could ever have a crankcase over pressure situation on the later model flatheads, so guess I was being a little facetious as well!
