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

Thanks for the info. My thoughts at this point are to take off the
intake plate and wandr over to the machine shop with it and the
adapter for the Weber. I'm sure Tommy Goza will get it set.

I checked the inliners forum and found where folks installed a PCV
valve in old Chevy 235's with road tubes. I'm planning on doing
similar. The trick was to use a grommet that fits into the road tube.
Then an inline PCV valve that fits in the grommet. Then run a hose
over to the intake port for the feed to the windshield wipers and use
a t-fitting. On my 1965 196OHV there are two places cut and threaded
on the intake. The bottom is for vacuum for the wipers. The top is
closed off. I'll remove the fitting that closes the top one off and
install a fitting for the hose to attach.

I'm trying to figure out if I should try and do an inline
breather/filter between the road tube and the intake. I don't want to
gum up my valves again. I know folks had to solve that issue 45-46
years ago, so I should be able to figure it out.

Anyway - machine shop will figure out mating the adapter. I'll figure
out how to route the fumes from the road tube - not going to just let
'em vent on the road or in the air. The folks here gave me good
pointers on a feed for the electric choke. I need to go back to Tom's
site when I have the carb so I can visualize the linkage.
