Topic: 1970 428 PCV system

[Anghelrestorations]

Im in the middle of detailing three CJ engines here (68, 69, and 70) so may revise the Cobra Jet detailing guide with some more information I have come across.  I assume on the 1970 version the PCV and vacuum fittings were installed before paint and painted blue with the engine.  Wondering if someone has original evidence of that.  I have 1970 FE assembly instructions from Ford but this detail is not mentioned in there.  Any input from the 70 experts or someone with an original 70 CJ crate engine?

I am adding a photo here I pulled from Mansfield Mustang that shows the system better and circled exactly what I am asking about.  I believe these fittings were on the engine when painted.

Thats perfect and exactly what I was hoping for....shows paint on those fittings.  Thanks for that Jeff.....
