Brian,

The original factory setup with those carbs is a hose from the timing chain c=
over canister directly to the carbs, no PCV valve.  You don't have a timing c=
hain cover canister, so I would run a hose from the fuel pump boss to a "Y" a=
nd then to the carbs.  That type of PCV system works best out of all that BL=
 used to reduce crankcase pressures and leaks.  Easy enough to try and you c=
an always remove it if it doesn't work.  Moss sells the Y piece.

At Gingerman Raceway last month one of the guys had to replace a broken rock=
er shaft on his Bugeye engine.   He just removed the pedastals, replaced the=
 broken shaft, and then retorqued the pedastal bolts.  Ran great the rest of=
 the weekend and whipped my butt as usual.  :-)

Rick
