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

Here's a link to my post about why I NEEDED one. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=290768

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!

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

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 oil off of the oil pan. Since the pcv install that has stopped. I’m guessing the starter case has a...

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 dipstick tube, but it’s not. Any ideas before I pull the starter? The bottom of the bellhousing is as...

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..... I’ll try it!

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube Yep....all of the ones I tried are for engines with displacements very similar to my flathead. The one I settled on is for a 283 SBC.

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube Finished the pcv valve install last night. Installed the tube beneath the manifold. Drilled and tapped the manifold at the road draft tube location and the carb block off plate for 1/4” pipe thread brass fittings. I’m using 3/8” emissions hose currently but...

Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube Yep, electric pump. Air and oil in via the rear breather/“fuel pump” stand.

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. At least the flow is in the correct direction! They are a...

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. Norris Then I’ll get back to wideband tuning as the weather permits.

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 without leaning out some cylinders. Gonna give it a shot. Thanks...
