I answered a post (not yours) with TECH INFO, not going through a bunch of different valves looking for a solution.
You feeling OK ...
Hah! Yep, sleepwalking and typing at the same time, just like normal.
I knew you were replying to the question, but I had a full long-winded epic novel with maybe even some useful info buried in the middle as well. Some of which was along the same lines of what you wrote too. Looking at the time stamp, I was probably typing about the same time as you were.
But when I came back in the morning it wasn't there. Meaning I probably forgot to hit "send" or something.
It's not the first time something has not taken here on this forum. Likely I'm just asleep at the wheel, more than any fault in the forum itself.

Paul,
I apologize. Either I mis-read or misunderstood your post.
Just got this one off Ebay NOS C4TE-6A666-A . The old one was just a free flowing hose connection and not serviceable. I was getting 15 inches on the vacuum gauge, this new one is pulling a steady 20. Motor is a 1963 260 V8.
The one I currently have looks like this one.
Cheap looking and has no spring. The current one rattles and might be working fine, just trying to cover my bases and keep things correct.
Finally coming back to the PCV valve after working on rebuilding the heater box.
None of the part numbers suggested in this thread or suggested for the 1965 F100 300 in the "Ford Truck Parts" book match the PCV currently installed, specifically the bolt section of the PCV in the picture above below the hose.
Next how do i remove the above PCV? I've tried unscrewing it and lifting up on it but nothing will get it to budge so i can check it for part numbers or if it is rebuildable.
Most all PCV valves are ball bearings or slugs that act as a crude check valve. They fail from carbon build up and crud. They can all be cleaned by soaking in Carbon Off cleaner and rarely need replacement. carbon off cleaner | eBay

The grommet in the valve cover has turned to stone. Easiest way is to take the valve cover off and cut it out. You can get new ones at any parts house or Dennis Carpenter, NPD, etc. You can clean up the old PCV or replace it your call.
