The 5.0 EFI had the PCV in about the same place on the manifold.
Yeah it did come to think of it.
THANX for the memory jog...

You can't really see the pcv, it is off the 2 big vac ports and Teed. 5.0 efi intake modified to use twin .98 2100s on my 260.The 5.0 EFI had the PCV in about the same place on the manifold.
It wasn't the best system in cold climates. There was a mesh screen under it and short drives in sub zero would freeze it into a block of ice. Blowby would start oil leaking from all the gaskets and seals.

I just wish I could post more info but am waiting for printer ink.
FORD actually first offered PCV in the 1960 model year, a model year earlier than the CA requirement. As for the 292, it had to comply with differing area emission law(s) so it was fitted with PCV. That is why it is so confusing as the engines were built/calibrated for where the vehicle was to be sold.
Either FORD had to bring the 292 into compliance or was not allowed to sell the 292 equipped vehicle in CA for instance.

Now we are talking 5.0L EFI correct? Was your 5.0L HO, STD or LT? How far north were you when the system froze?
Now for the earlier road draft design.
