1964 292 PCV question

LRS30 · Post by **LRS30** » October 26, 2010, 7:47 pm

Mine has one screwed into the manifold just under the front of the carb, and has a rubber tube going to the back of the engine and attaching to a cannister just behind the valley pan, I am wondering if this a stock Item, or a P.O. addition to it..

I'm not an expert but I'm sure it's a stock item on mine it has a canister on the valley pan behind the manifold which connects to a check valve on the front of the intake manifold all connected by a hose. Hope this helps

The PCV was indeed a factory option (one of the best for an engine as far as I am concerned, they reduce mantainence sooo much! LOL)The PCV on a Y block consisted of a special cap that screws to teh top of the valley pan, a special metal tube that runs along the drivers side valve cover and a special brass fitting that goes into the intake in front of the carb that the PCV screws into. It is a nice clean package and with the problems a 292 has a PCV was a god send. Hawkrod.

Hawkrod, do you have a picture from the Illustrations Book that you could post? It will help LRS30, and others.

I went through this just last week, with my local Ford parts guy. The Illustrations Book picture was clear and answered all my questions.
I thought the Motorcraft part number for the 292 truck PCV valve was interesting. The part number is EV-1, no longer serviced.

I guess my tube was cut off at some point in the past, and a rubber hose used in its place. I am getting ready to do a compression/leak-down test to see if I have another problem, since I am not detecting any vacume leaks anywhere...

Indeed, the PCV was available in '64 (perhaps required in CA). I got hold of a NOS system for the 292 and installed it on mine with the same description you have of yours. Mine is all hard tube piping, no rubber.

The illustrations I saw at my local Ford store showed a system that was mainly hard piped, with a couple pieces of rubber hose, and that matched what pieces I have remaining on my '62. Perhaps a '64 is different?

The Ford Illustrations showed the cannister on the rear of the valley, with a short length of rubber hose connecting the cannister to the long, formed metal tube that runs past the coil and along the passenger's side valve cover. The metal tube had a short hose "elbow" connecting it to the PCV valve. the PCV valve was screwed into a 45 degree brass "street ell" which in turn was screwed into the intake manifold, at the front of the carb.

All the pieces shown in the Ford Text and Illustrations Book had C1xx prefixes. Maybe the PCV system was used as early as '61 on the Slicks?

What you discribe is exactly what I have... So guess what its all going back on, as removing it made no difference in the way it ran anyway...lol No I need to find another reason why she stumbles at idle, and stalls when I stop....... Thanks guys...

this is exactly the system i have on my y too.

the non pcv canister has a road draft tube in place of the hose barb.

some states may have had a requirement for 61, but in 64 the majority had pcv equipment.
recently i found a 65 with 352 non pcv and had a road draft tube.
the only 352 in a truck i have ever seen like that. i took the valve covers and tube.

Mine originally came w/a road draft tube. Not a good setup for longevity/effectiveness of the engine oil. I have a bone-stock bias, but this is one area where the option/regional requirement seems to make sense to retrofit.

Brian, my '65 built in N.J. plant. 352, has a road draft tube. .

Ill join the group of road draft tubes on a 352 the rebuilt engine out of my old 65 has a road draft tube. Ican remeber alot of differnt makes and models with that type of emmision gear belchin a little bit if the blow by was bad enough.Usually when sitting at a stop light or sitting ideling for a while.

This is a pic of the rear pvc hook up on my 63 292 behind the carb.

This is where the pvc attaches in front of the carb

You can see the metal tube that goes to the back connection goes down the passanger side valve cover
