Re: [AMC-list] Tom - Weber 32/36 DGEV Jeep Kit for 196OHV

[Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Your PCV valve will have to be compatible with the engine too, not just the
grommet. Smaller cfm flow rates for smaller engines. For instance, the 81 TSM
(nearest to hand) says .5 to 2.5 cfm for the 258 depending on manifold vacuum
and .69-2.21 cfm for the 4 cylinder.
