PCV on a 61?

[thunderbird61]

Hi!

I was wondering if the 61 has a pcv setup or does it have a downdraft tube?

If it does not have a pcv system, can one be implementet by using the pcv port on my edelbrock 600cfm carb?

Most Tbirds had a PCV in 61. They are in the back of the intake and plumb into the carb spacer. Hawkrod

thunderbird 61,

See my posting of a few weeks ago re the "Rube Goldberg" PCV on my '63 Bird. It looked exactly like the picture below that Hawkrod posted.

I say "looked" in the past tense because I did away with all the piping and "Y" fitting. I replaced it all with a hose from the crankcase fitting to the PVC Valve and another hose to the carb base. Works great and sure looks a LOT neater.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info. Do you have a picture of this modification? Would be cool to see how it looks.
