This arvo we removed the fuel pump & carbie for a touch-up. I am trying to nut out the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system on the engine. I have a service manual for a '43 showing a valve near the front of the carbie that supplies vacuum. My engine ('41) does not have that set up. We checked on Tony's & another old engine we have but there is definitley no fitting near the front of the carbie. At the rear of the carb mounting (a part of the manifold) there is a fitting with a blanking plug fitted. Beside that a fitting with a banjo fitting that supplies vacuum to the distributor. On that same fitting there is a vacuum diaphragm, of which the vacuum pipe has been cut & crimped.
So, do early (41) V8's have a PCV system, and, judging by my questions, would it appear to have been removed?
Any help appreciated, a photo of the set-up would be better!
Thanks chaps!
Howard & (Ganmain) Tony.
