If the road draft system is maintained like I outlined in my thread above, the oil will be just as clean. If you change to a PCV system, the redirected harmful crankcase vapors consisting of water, acids, sulfur will now be ingested by your engine which effect carburetor mixture and leave nasty deposits on the back of your valves. If the vehicle was converted, it would probably be Type 1 or the open type of system that was used on cars from 1961-1967 which take in fresh air from the breathers which flow around the crankcase and lifter/pushrod or valve spring valve stem area of a flathead to the PVC valve to intake manifold to be burned. Type 2 systems are a closed system which would consist of a small intake filter located inside the air cleaner to a hose to the valve cover where the air circulates thru ought the crankcase and a PVC valve and hose to the intake manifold. NOTE: When a type 1 or type 2 system were added by the factory when new, the factory recalibrated the mixture for the idle circuit and the cruise circuits. Type2>

The only way to tell for sure is to fully charge the battery and then perform a load test.

To some people fixed up MEANS screwed up!

Charles is right, and I prefer even more upright. I also prefer the tube to be cut at a 45-degree angle. I prefer the cut to be like on this Buick below, The front of the car is to the left of the screen. Make sure your oil filler / fill breathers scoop on the left-hand side of the engine is turned toward the engine fan to pressurize the system. It's supposed to be indexed to the pipe. The one below is off just a little, see below, The reason some of these Pontiac tubes are not cut at a 45-degree angle is because they are swept back. Being swept back or cut at a 45-degree angle cause a low-pressure area on the back side of the tube that sucks out crankcase vapors. With the engine fan pushing air into the breather cap cup, the system is called the Pressure-Suction crankcase devise. The road draft tube is only a part (the suction part) of the system. FYI, the breather filter (wire mesh) and the road draft tube filter must be cleaned every oil change with kerosene or mineral spirits and allowed to dry, then they must be filled up with motor oil and turned upside down and be allowed to drip dry of oil. Why the oil? the oil clings to the cleaned wire mesh inside and traps and cleans the air flowing through the engine.

If we were not rambling off the subject, the subject would be quite short. A family here in town that once had a Cadillac V8 engine installed in their Packard touring car. No year is mentioned, but would this be an upgrade? Would it be an upgrade?? NO, from my point of view. To others Yes. Pretty short thread.

The "MERLIN" 266 engine for the Spitfire was made in the United States by the Packard Motor Car Company. The "Merlin design" was developed and improved many times between 1933 and 1950. It is likely that the Spitfires rival (ME109), which was produced until 1957 likely was using Packard built Merlin's because all the engines out of the UK were WW2 surplus. Many of you saw the 1969 movie Battle of Britain? Granted there were a lot of model airplanes used, however there were actually real footage of Spitfires and Messerschmitt 109's and the quick trained eye would tell you the Messerschmitt's did not have an inverted Mercedes/Daimler V-12, but rather an upright Merlin meaning they were built under license after WW2 for the Spanish air force.

Seems like the new electric cars have an advantage of going back to the earth quicker that the old cars. They certainly will beat them to the toxic waste dump.

There was a guy in our AACA chapter that had a 350 chevy in a 53-54 Packard. The chapter would have an outing once a month and one month the owner (a chapter member) of the Packard brought his car and parked his car with all the rest of us. There was the usual B/S session with hoods up before going in for lunch with the general public walking around asking questions about the cars and the club. One observer guy, who asked questions about AACA and what it stood for just went off on the guy with the Packard and some of the club members standing by and started calling them and the club in general a bunch of hypocrites. Not much they could say to him with all the proof parked right next to him. BTW, there were a bunch of everyday people standing around to hear all of this.

NO, and the word blasphemy comes to mind.

He's in Hospice, poor guy. From what I've read he's really a nice person.

Think he is referring to the Hollister riot of 1947 The movie "Wild one" was based on that town takeover and riot.

Change the heading. Most people who respond will not look at reactions to the heading or your explanations. So please clarify what you want responses to. Also are you referring to a single piece of wraparound glass or multiple pieces with dividers or multiple pieces glued together??

No, talking about early 30's. Chevrolet, Wills St.Cair would be 20's. An overhead valve (OHV) engine is a piston engine whose valves are located in the cylinder head above the combustion chamber. This contrasts with earlier flathead engines, where the valves were located below the combustion chamber in the engine block. This does not mean they can't be horizontal. Notice the valve chest that is cast into the top of the block and the compound angles of the block and head mating surfaces.

Name the American manufacturer of V-8 engines of the early 30's that had OHV's???? Anyone?
