HEY...I saw a thread before that explained how to add a PCV to a pre-63 slant six...any help in finding it? Thanks.
YesDoes your carb have the required spigot/port?
Hi. Thanks for the help. Attached is the valve cover. Slantsixdan says he has a PCV too. He says 170s are different...I think he said all I need is the PCV stuck into the valve cover and hose to the carb...How about the valve cover.......does it have the two pipe type fittings on the top? If so, it would just be a matter of getting the PCV valve holder, the valve, and the proper breather if you don't already have one. I would also convert over to the closed crankcase system, which would require an air cleaner with the hose nipple, along with the valve cover breather with the hose connection, and the hose to connect the two, of course. I have new metal PCV valves if you need one.
So could I adapt this type breather filter to my air filter? Just cut a hole and clip it on...How about the valve cover.......does it have the two pipe type fittings on the top?

Breather like this?Looks like a later valve cover. Is there a grommet under the breather cap or a pipe? This setup will work fine, you'll just have to remember that it's a later setup when getting parts for it. The PCV valve will just push into the existing grommet. For a closed crankcase, you'll need the later breather with the hose connection, and a later air cleaner to match, or, if you want, add a hose nipple to your existing air cleaner. I'd tap into it where the air intake for the breather will be filtered air.
Thanks. My air filter is the original 62 that is pretty much a base and lid sandwich open about 66% on the sides.what should I look for?Sure, if you don't mind having a GM type part on your Mopar, and don't mind having to buy another one periodically when it gets dirty. If you tap into a filtered area, you won't have to do that. The existing air filter will take care of it. A lot will depend on which air cleaner assy. you're using. Some have room for the GM filter, some don't. Those early slant 6 air cleaners can be pretty tight on space.
I'd look for a late 60's one that has the fitting.Thanks. My air filter is the original 62 that is pretty much a base and lid sandwich open about 66% on the sides.what should I look for?
I have....most are for 2 bbl...will keep looking...I'd look for a late 60's one that has the fitting.
Engine is fine....only 23K miles!My silly 2cents.
Depending on engine condition.
Rather have ventilation go thru carb/Intake if possible. Not get oil on air filter.
So you can still drive car .......
