1961 imperial vents

johnfin Posted 2020-10-15 2:06 PM (#604489) Subject: 1961 imperial vents Veteran Posts: 100 I have seen concourse restored 61 imperials with the engine vents both ways. one dumps to atmosphere the other with a valve back to the engine. I have talked to original owners with unmodified cars and they claim the valve is original. What gives?

An Imperial with a PCV valve had a Carter carburetor 3134S on it originally. johnfin Posted 2020-10-16 9:18 PM (#604548 - in reply to #604489) Subject: Re: 1961 imperial vents Veteran Posts: 100 Thats awesome man, perfect.
