    I really loved the video. I'm a old school fan of carburetors @ points @ distributor cars 6 @ 8 cylinders, especially inline 6. I'm waiting for your film. Thank you. THURMAN MINGO

    I also have a gas filter before the gas pump...same filter you're using.
    Very helpful.
    That could be our next upgrade.
    Thanks!!!

    installing the PVC valve that way is a temptation to suck oil splash coming from the engine base. better to use the oil separator that is part of the draft tube.
    even where the PVC valve is located on a valve cover at the top, there is a baffle to avoid the splash to be sucked by the PVC circuit.

    By removing the draft tube( the larger
    piece that fits in the engine block) you will most likely have trouble in the PCV valve blocking up with oil, even if the splash gard is in place in the block.... from what i can see the splash is there. i have been advised to place the PCV valve on the TOP of the draft tube by the same way as you have done (drill hole and use Rubber grommet that will push through to the other side of the drilled hole, ( don"t cut grommet in half, drill correct hole to fit grommet
    that way it will be a better fit for the grommet . (2) The way the PCV is made with the pipe at right angles ,may block up as the oil will splash up there over a period of time regds w owen

      @DesertRatFabrication  Před 2 lety

      I really appreciate your input so far everything has been working real good, what I like about what I did is I still have an unmolested draft tube, if I am understanding you, you want the PCV in the highest place on the draft tube, let me know , much appreciated

      @@DesertRatFabrication Hi there thanks for your reply as i am half way through doing this conversion my self , i have had plenty of advice, and that is yes it would be better higher at the top of the draft tube that way over a period of time the oil residue etc would not clog the PCV valve , you may have to have a check on the valve now and again. the design of draft tube may have been made higher like it is to stop any oil splash out of the motor . i have a 1949 Styline sedan with a 1956/62.. 235 engine it is right hand drive Canadian conversion for in New Zealand where i live same as in Australia and the UK.

    Did it affect how the vacuum windshield wipers work?

    • @DesertRatFabrication
      @DesertRatFabrication  Před rokem

      No it didn’t, but I have a dual action fuel pump so the wipers get there vacuum from the pump, I also tried them on the manifold vacuum and I didn’t see any difference, I sure like having the PCV, it’s better for the engine and you don’t get the smell from the draft tube
