In the photo in post #3 - is the dark colored connector, the fitting with two hex'ed ends, some sort of restrictor or valve? Otherwise, I see no need for that fitting. Seems some sort of restriction or valve in the line would be needed, or else you would have a HUGE vacuum leak. If the connector fitting does have a restriction, it may serve a purpose like a PCV valve does in later systems. Just curious.

There was some discussion recently about adapting PCV to our Packards. As I recall we talked/wrote ourselves out of the idea.
