PCV 56

Post by jbk772211 »

1956 T-Bird / 312 it looks like I can put a PCV and grommet by removing the throttle linkage and sneak the parts in without removing the Intake, pain in the butt to drain the block and replace the intake gaskets, I know there are people that are very knowledgeable about this and will share there experiences with me.

The T-bird parts suppliers sell a conversion kit. The kit requires removing the draft tube from the valley cover, near the distributor. A rubber grommet and pcv valve are installed in place of the draft tube. There is a plate that goes between the carburetor and intake manifold. A rubber hose is routed between the pcv valve in the valley cover to the plate under the carburetor. The kit costs about $50. You do not have to remove the intake manifold.

I installed the conversion kit in my 312, very simple install.
