carb base plate

Hi all,
I have a 352, in my 1966 F250. with the stock 2V Carb. It has the California emmissions on it.

When taking the engine apart I broke the hose connector on the plate below the carb. The plate is plastic, 1/2 inch thick. A hose runs from this hose connector to the PVC Valve. I cannot find this plate listed anywhere. I searched this forum, not in the shop manual. NAPA couldn't find any reference to it.

Anyone know where I could find one?

Thanks

I think I've tossed atleast 3 of these PCV spacers. Oh if that dosen't work try BEL-KIRK Mustang In Bellevue, WA. They have a website too. More expensive though.

If the plate/spacer is in fair to good condition and finding a replacement too expensive or hard to locate. I would find a drill bit same dia. as the opening and drill out the broken piece of plastic tubing then use a high temp, or expoxy glue and replace with another ridgid piece of plastic tubing with outside dia. same as opening in the spacer.

PCV introduced in 1961, was mandatory on all vehicles sold new in CA. By 1966, AFAIK, all states required it.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

This is the only 2V carb spacer plate listed in Ford car/truck parts catalogs that meets this criteria.

I cannot post pictures, I don't think I have posted enough on this forum.

Here is a link to a picture of it:

I liked the idea of a Carburetor Spacer Plate-Made of a composition material that resembles plastic to help with keeping the carb cooler. If no one has one to sell, I'll do what Dave has suggested. It's a better idea than I was thinking of drill, taping to insert a brass hose fitting.

Thanks to all,

Hopefully a member will have a replacement; might try posting question in the appropriate engine forum. If it comes down to repairing I would not go with brass, my experience has been it does hold up to engine vibration well. perhaps a section of steel brake line, or something simular with the same i/s dia??

Don't know if the inside dia. of the hose connector is critical; if not, another option may be cutting the broken section at the base and insert ridgid plastic, or steel sleave?
