Thread: 2v carb spacer w/PCV adapter -- source?

    I've got a 1955 41 Special with Carter WCD 2 barrel. In 1965, for California emission compliance, a ceramic spacer was installed that has a 1/2" tube that connects a rubber tube to a PCV valve and on to the crankcase breather hole.

    The spacer has cracked. I can't find a replacement. I'd like to keep this setup rather than get an original breather tube, as it reduces emissions and eliminates blow-by spray on the underside of the car. Any ideas on where to find of have one made?

    I would talk to a machinist,and have them make a new one from aluminum. I doubt you'll ever find another ceramic one, especially in good shape. -Zach.

    The 56 4 barrel intake on my car ( Intake is off California car ) was just drilled and taped for steel nipple that is the size of a vent valve end. I found a water pump bypass hose that fits the body of the vent valve on one end and the valley cover on the other end, this set up works on my car.
