PCV valve...?

I am in the same boat. I brought mine back to life last year but it should be replaced. the flaps(napa) spent some time with me and searched their old parts book. blank. any takers?

I have one in my tool box marked PCV134. Not sure if it is the right one, though.

The backflow valve prevents a manifold backfire from entering the crankcase and even if there is some small leakage at the valve when blowing back through the valve it will still shut off during a backfire episode. If the backflow valve function is all that's wrong with it it will still function to evacuate the crankcase.

The Purolator number I have for the '63 V8 PCV valve is PV-1029. This is the straight valve using three separate hoses.

The Purolator number for the late '63 and '64 valve is PV-666 (devil worshipers?), this is the elbow type using two hoses. This is also reportedly available from NAPA, their number is 2-815.

Thanks, this is very helpful!

FWIW I also have a NAPA part number for the R-engine valve that screws into the carb from a similar thread that I started over on the SDC web site. Once I verify these numbers they'll all be going into the list on my web site...

Nate,

With the AFB and Edelbrock 4-bbls, I have used NAPA Echlin 29267. This is the one that screws into the base of the carb, and has a hose barb on the other end.

I'll disagree since a road tube provides for passive ventilation which is always adequate. It is also simple as the PCV system of non R series Stude engines leaves much to be desired. Give me the simple option every time.
