Dumb question.

I have a 64 292 y block I recently put a holly on. I'm trying to figure out what this think on my intake manifold is looks like a pcv but I'm kinda thinking it's what fed oil to my oil bath filter. Any help I should probably know this.

Well if it was a pcv then it would be confirmed by finding the valve inserted into a grommet in the valve cover with the rubber hose attached.

I'm sure Number Dummy could answer this as I don't think even a CA engine in 1964 had pcv. One thing for sure is one doesn't feed oil to their oil bath air cleaner.

Right I think I learned in automotive school that 67 was when pcv was introduced. I'm just not sure where to hook it up to.

pvc

I would think its a pvc should hook to the oil filler tube coming up from the valley pan tube should have a little tube to attach hose,

According to ND back on 03-27-2015; the PCV system was introduced in 1961 and was mandatory on all new vehicles sold in CA.

Here is a discussion & pics of a '64 292 pcv system:

Does that look similar to yours?

Hi Fellas,

Probably also considered by some as a Dumb Question --

When I look at NDs posted illustration above (post#8), would someone please explain the functional description of part# 6A665?

I'm guessing it is a small canister containing an oil coalescer utilizing a mesh screen-type baffle inside. Would that be a correct description?

Secondly, part# 6A666, would that be a standard PCV check valve device, correct?

Thanks in advance for any and all explanations,

BarnieTrk

I don't have and exact match installed there, but the device on mine is an empty shell that vents the crankcase. (I purchased and installed that brass fitting myself--my engine came with the vent plugged.)

I don't recall hearing about anyone who still has that original part. I'm guessing most were tossed years ago.

Yep. Still available from most auto parts stores

See below.

No.

Secondly, part# 6A666, would that be a standard PCV check valve device, correct?
No, there are myriad different smog (PCV) valves: 1961/64 292 trucks: C1TZ-6A666-A (Motorcraft EV-1). 1961/63 car 292's use a different valve: C1AZ-6A666-A

The road draft tubes used on 1954/59 Y blocks contain a meshed filter screen (B2TZ-6A631-A). See upper pic below from 1957/63 catalog...notice the lower pic shows the 1961/63 PCV pics.

The 6A665 adapter that takes the place of the 1961/64 292 road draft tube has nothing inside it, neither do the road draft tubes after 1959.
