1963 144 I6 Info
Hello, I'm usually over on the 80-86 Truck section, but had some questions about the air cleaner set up on a 63 Falcon. (I know its not a Ranchero, but I think its basically the same?)
So the engine is a 144. I was wondering if there is some type of hose that runs to the air cleaner? The cleaner itself has a short round snorkel on it.
I was also wondering if there is a hose that connects from the oil fill to the cleaner. There is a small 90* tube on one side of it.
Sorry I don't have any pictures at the moment, I may be able to tomorrow.
Thanks in advance!

Hose from aircleaner to oil fill would be the fresh air supply for the PCV system. CA cars had those in '63, maybe earlier. Do you have a PCV or hole for one in the valve cover? Could be an air cleaner off a later model too.

Thanks for the responses! There is not a separate hole for a PCV in the valve cover, just the oil fill. And I didn't know the name for it, but it does have the road draft tube. You can see light "exhaust" coming out of it when its warmed up.

Do you have a picture of what should be there?
Also, the air cleaner has a stud on the bottom, that goes into the bracket showing on the last picture.
I know that this car has not been messed with in the last 28 years, but there is the history before that, that I have no clue about!
My dad has owned it the whole time, and an old lady owned before that.

You have the wrong aircleaner on there. Your 144 has a draft tube coming off the block; that's all the crank ventilation there is for the legendary Falcon six.
Normally, that 90 degree tube off the aircleaner would attach to the oil cap and a PCV valve would attach to the carberator base.
