It Just dawned on me, the Mannyfold is also plumbed for a PCV valve,
in 1957 that would have been a California mannyfold.
BUT the only other PCV equipted 392 I recall seeing didn't do it
in the mannyfold but in the oil fill tube.

Being a PCV mannyfold in NOT a bad thing. Motors that ended up so
equipted averaged a longer initial life span according to historical
records.

I might be inclined to mention to the seller that the mannyfold has been 
altered therefore part of the formula used to come to the bid price the 
potential buyer might arrive at.

(LOWER) then the asking by a BUNCH!!!

Some years ago while we still were adding miles to Wifypoo's 1990
LeBaron convertible I needed to replace the PCV stuff, and the
cattyloge at the parts house still had a listing for the 1957
Chrysler PCV part.

Anyone out there have a PCV equipted 392???

If so, how was it done??
