I discovered the vacuum side of my PVC valve has been intentionally
plugged on my B. It is a 65 or 66 which were the first years of the
valve. The car runs great. I'm kinda of assuming that it might have
been plugged because the valve failed. My questions are:
With it plugged, Am I getting adequate crankcase ventilation?
Can I test the valve?
If I install a working valve, will that vacuum change upset my carb
settings?
If I leave the hose plugged ought I fashion a pipe that runs down to
oil pan area like the older engines such as the A 1500?. Does the
original oil cap allow for enough air flow to do this?
I note that you can get a replacement parts for the PVC valve, I would
like to keep the car original. A working pvc valve doesn't really hurt
anything does it?
Thanks, Mike
