the weight of the plunger , the spring tension , the size of the orfice all
enter into the pcv valve specs.(i am sure you knew all of this) i have a
gauge for testing them. you put in on the oil fill and watch it (kinda hard on
an FC with the angle of the filler).it was put out by echlin wayyy back. i
seemed to ruin into venting issues when i played with different exhaust systems
and carbs etc. i cant remember what started it now.
i think i have my home made unit at about .062 at this time. i gave up on
pcv valves years ago and went with a home made unit with drilled orfice with
parts from a late and early brazed together. another guy is using a modified
valve , gutted and a carb jet screwed into it. that sounds like a good idea
to me. i will play with it soon. i think there are pictures of what i have on
the web picture site corvair.de\n2vzd
HAPPY NEW YEAR
