Thank You !

Still trying to understand the group number versus part numbers. On the drawing you provided, it appears to be pointing to group numbers, correct?

Spring is present and is a hefty one. Appears the retaining clip wire is damaged, never saw anything like it before

I will keep the post posted

Working on my 1939 Packard 6 and had to remove the steering wheel. I noticed the wheel was loose in the housing. Digging further, the bearing at the upper end of the tube is shot, race damaged and balls missing
Anyone have suggestions where to find one and associated clips? Exploded drawings / part numbers?

Thanks in advance

I have a 1939 110 / six with overdrive. This was my Dad's car and for years he thought the car was stalling due to vapor lock. He rerouted lines, replaced them and finally put in an electric pump. I am now experiencing this stalling, very intermittent and at any outside weather temperaturs. Car will stall, at any speed, including just idling. No misses, just like someone turns the key off. There is not a ballast resistor for the coil, but as I look at the schematic, the overdrive switch, relay and other components are in the 6V path to the coil. I am now suspicious the problem may be within the overdrive circuit. Anyone have similar experiences or suggestions?

Thanks Howard ! Valuable website, still learning !

OK, dumb question, where can I find Service Counselor Vol 21 No. 13 dated July 15,1947? Doing searches here and on google and coming up empty handed. If I can't find a PCV, considering plugging the intake manifold port, but what came off the block then? Is it what I recall, just a straight pipe downwards?

Thanks Howard!

Think I'll head back to my local NAPA dealer. Was there a couple weeks ago and the counter guy spent a good hour looking in the back for a fitting for the oil canister brake line. Small town NAPA guys rock ! Bet he would dig through Jeep PCV valves as well

Interesting. From what we have found, this is the original engine. Curious why everything is pointing to an engine transplant with PCV

Actually, car just got here from Michigan in November. It was my Dad's and we have been working on it long distance for about 30 years. Car came out of Missouri I believe. Looking at the other thread, this is the same part, same issue. Spring in side, no check ball and filled with old gunky oil residue.
Interesting, taxi was mentioned in the other thread. We did research and we believe this engine is a taxi motor as well.
So, on a factroy engine of this vintage, where would that pipe normally go or any idea where I would find one of these? Being wide open, certainly sucking a lot of fumes from crank directly into intake manifold, lean conditions possible unless over compensate with needle valve

Should have provided a picture first time. Front of car is to right. More I look at it, something was kluged together over the years. So where would the tube go? Even the tapped hole into the base of the intake manifold below the carb is not correct

Working on an exhaust manifold leak, had to remove the intake and exhaust manifold. To get clearance, had to remove the crankcase ventilation tube located on the right side into the base of the carburetor manifold. In series with the steel pipe is an unusual fitting, a check valve?, followed by a series of kluged up brass fittings.
Any idea what that item may be? Only an orifice now, maybe .125 dia.
