Parts ID - pcv tube applications
« on: March 26, 2020, 11:27:19 AM »
Hi. I have 2 PCV tubes to sell, but I don't know what they suit. Can anyone help? Also, you are welcome to send me offers if you need them.

Thanks in advance guys!

Maybe this will help identify what you have

The picture was posted elsewhere but don't know who provided it - but thanks

They identified the balance tubes as (from left to right ) PI - 428CJ - 390. All about the angle of the PCV nipple





Hope this helps

A drawing of the installation of this PCV tube is visible in the "1968 Mustang Chassis Assembly Manual", page 14. It wraps around the right hand side of the carburetor.

The angle of the nipple in relation to the valve cover is many times overlooked when people purchase these regardless of application. It becomes painfully obvious if when a 390 tube is used on a CJ for example.  It is a common thing to find incorrect on cars with BB when judging in concours events. The 390 tube is the most common from my experience.
