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.

That installation is a retrofit closed system. 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! >Steve Albu > >---- Paul Holmgren <paulholm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > >>any California Car owners have anything like the PCV installation seen in >>the pics for this car car listed on e-bay?? >> >>item number 4611616422 >> >>-- >>Paul Holmgren >>2 57 300-C's in Indy >>Hoosier Corps L#6 >> >> >> >>To send a message to this group, send an email to: >>Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> >>For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm >>Yahoo!
