Re: [Chrysler300] Cal. Car owners QUestion

[Gary Barker <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Calif. required a retofit to 1955.  But only in heavy smog areas.   My 
55 Chrysler has a real nice one on it. I wish I could find a few more 
like it.  It is a thin speacer with a vaccum line fitting then a  rubber 
hose to a PCV valve in line then to the place the draft tube was at the 
back of the block..   I guess a guy could make one out on a carb. spacer 
that most speed shops carry.     Gary Barker

It avoids the crankcase fumes that tend to leave an odor that can be smelled under idling conditions or with the heater on.  I don't think California ever required a PCV retrofit on a 1957 vehicle, at least my 1957 300C doesn't have one and I have had it for what must be close to 20 years!  Those unrepentant smog bureaucrats will never get their hands on my collector cars!
