Re: PCV Anyone?

Ihad a 55, 400 several years ago that had the pcv valve. I remember that one end was fitted into the crankcase breather and the tube going under the car was removed.
It was a rubber stopper with a tube attached to it. I don't remember were the other end went. I seem to recall that it went into a hole drilled into the intake manifold. I had a problem with this car. When I drove at speeds over 30 miles an hour, oil would blow out of the oil filler tube and coat the engine with oil. I could race the idle in neutral and see the oil come out the breather. This was a head scratcher and drove me nuts. The final resolution was to remove the pcv and and block the hole in the intake. That resolved the problem.
