One thing you don’t want to do with sensitive Weber tracts is breath crap into the intake tract! Tuning the individual throats is difficult to balance, without introducing mist to the manifold!

Dont know how crappy Edle”brick” brand got into an Inglese Manifold and Weber thread, but use that breather location out to the exhaust for evacuation of pressure!

Heck use two valve covers with fill caps! Pour 3 quarts in one side, pour 3 in the other side to show off!

For Webers best to put a bing into every exhaust tube and gauge tune each! For tractability, go with a smaller Venturi for street response and fine tune with air/fuel adjustments! Even the throttle or idle stops depending on manifold can get tweaked from throat to throat! I have never seen a perfect distribution on an Inglese, as the runners aren’t all equal! I like a temp laser also to tune these! Best to get the engine up to op temps, prior to tuning Weber’s!

Oh crap! Just saw old thread!!!!! Forget it!

Has anyone set up a PVC system on fuel injection? I’m thinking of using a road draft connector tapped into one of the unused air cleaner ports or the intake manifold fitting. What do you think?

Contributing (or maybe not) to the never ending thread but a 62' from CA would have had a PCV-- a hose from the intake hole next to the distributor and connected (via various fittings) to the arrow in the second picture above (see AIM). The PCV was also serviceable. Okay, now this thread can finally die (sorry).
