Anyhow, I thought about that after I posted that. Our car was a '71, so I guess it wouldn't have been legal, either. |

Yes, yes it's all comming back to me now ! Was that for the single ring piston that was being experimented with. I believe one of my friends went to a Manley seminar back then and thought this new style ring ,piston combination was going to be " to die for" ed |

Re: Crankcase Ventilation
It's hard to see in my photo, but the brake booster check valve is there. I've run the seals backward but didn't see a gain in vacuum on the gauge. I was recently told that the seals only needed to be turned when using a pump. If I install a puke tank designed for a pump, do you think it would fix my oil in the intake problem?

Re: Crankcase Ventilation
Yikes! I are getting to be an old fart. I remember seeing cars on lifts that while running, you could see the smoke billowing out of the tube. I guess '66 was wishful thinking.
It's ironic though, the stuff that's allowed these days, and you show up with a draft tube and yer out! |

Re: Crankcase Ventilation
I have tried several theories at the track and confirmed some of them on the dyno. Brake booster valves are not created equal. There is dyno proven power here if you work for it. Mine will suck the bottom of the pan up against the pickup. You have to "release" the vacuum for the oil to drain. Then you'll know your close!

Re: Crankcase Ventilation
The brake booster valve I'm using is a 1970 GM version. It just allows air to go in one direction. I don't know why one would be more beneficial than another, but I'll look into it.

Re: Crankcase Ventilation
i think your refering to a check valve that is screwed into your header.......brakebooster check valve is plastic and similar to a PCV valve in size
