My Dad has a few good
suggestions, now and again, if I choose to
listen.

question
Dave, that would clean-out the tube, but the valve cover, would still be
plugged-up.I took a 66 or 67, 440 apart from a NY'er. The valve covers, were
so full of sludge, the rocker arms had made clearance, in the mud! It makes
sense, that road tube venting would do the same.Before anyone op's for a
rebuild, it might be wise to check this.The simptons, would be: oil blowing
out of dipstick tube, or oil filler cap, and surely any other oil leak, could
be questioned. Anyway, Ya'll have a nice day .Dave.

My Dad tells me he
used to take the road draft tube off, soak it in gasoline and set it on
fire. After it went out, he would tap it a few times to knock the junk out,
and re-install it. That was how he fixed them.

covers question
Hi,Rich. I believe, all engines (Chrysler) ,had a road vent tube, for
crankcase venting untill 62-63 when CAP ( Clean Air
Package) was started, then pcv valves took over. I also think there
was a mesh type material in the baffle area for oil slosh, a crude filter.
If the baffles were cut out, it's possibile they were removed,
because the were plugged-up. You could convert to pcv, by drilling
carb base, there was a boss in primary side,and secondary sides of most
AFB's The baffle must cover the port by a few inches, or you can suck oil
out, when running at high rpms. Hope this helps, Dave.

Hello Folks,
I have the valve covers from two different 1960 Imperials and both
have had large sections of the interior baffles cut out. Both cars
were very original so I find it surprising that either would have been
modified outside the factory. Now I have found another and the
baffles in it are not cut out. Was there some service buletin that
recommended doing this?
