Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.

VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

What's your opinion on this PCV adapter kit for my 51 8ba. It says to remove crankcase vent tube and plug in this adapter with PCV valve. Than tee connecting hose into hose coming from vacuum port under carburetor that services wiper motor.

I assume intake air comes in thru vented oil fill cap.

Thanks Bill

Mr Rogers -It seems to be a popular thing to do to remove blowby and prevent condensation in the crankcase as explained in the advertisement.

I know a lot of people install a PVC system in their flatheads, whats your take on this- thanks in advance.

Leaving the crankcase vent open defeats the purpose of the PCV. The purpose is to give a wave aspect to the pulses of ullage air below the pistons and draw off any pressure generated from blowby of cylinder combustion gasses. One wants nothing to go out into the atmosphere as was happening from the road draft tube with a mesh filtered inlet of outside air at another point. I have no comment on putting oiley vapors near the windshield wiper vacuum source other than it might require a neoprene wiper hose?

Than your suggestion is to block off the vented oil fill cap? Most of what I read requires a source of fresh intake air?

Why back when I had a 1957 Chevrolet. I needed to install a conversion kit to meet California registration requirements. I experienced quicker than normal fouling plugs. I think because of crankcase fumes dumping into the intake manifold.

I'm doing some research and having a filtered intake air source for proper pcv operation looks to be a required component for proper operation.

So now i'm more confused.

was wondering what condition your engine is in,for you to add a PVC valve
does it have blow by ?
you might want to do a leak down test to find out what the real problem is
my 2 cents 37 RAGTOPMAN

8ba runs great-good compression-but it has a lot of miles and this looked to me like an upgrade.

Maybe i'm overthinking this
