That vacuum port you are using is needed for the power brake booster, putting the PCV valve inline will need to be sized small so you retain vacuum. Doug Knutson
Hi sawymer, I have video of the motor running but have not had the time to edit and post it. Our business has been crazy busy and we moved to a new farm. Hopefully I can post it sometime soon. Aaron
I thought that I came up with the pcv idea! Hope it works well, hate the oily mess the old road tube leaves on the underside of the truck. I noticed that you are missing the starter support bracket that bolts to one of the oil pan bolts and the starter bolt closest to the oil pan. This takes the rotational stress off the starter bolts when you fire it up.
Hi mech, sorry, but no video of the first start. It does run though. We bought a farm and moved, I have been so busy I haven't taken the time to put a video out. I need to pull it out and do a quick Iphone video, so people know it runs good.
NM🇺🇲 stay blessed and Merry Christmas everyone!
That pcv set up is geaus I'm going to do that to my flattys
Thanks Dan, got the idea from the HAMB (Jalopy Journal)

Hi Doug. Do you mean if I'm using a power brake booster?, or are you meaning the vaccum advance wont work for the distributer?
Miss your videos, and that terrific coupe!
Thanks Robert, the Coupe has 3500 miles on it now and has been running great.
Was there a "start-up" video following this episode?

Hey would you want to rebuild my 8ba carb for me for a fee? I can mail it to you.
Hi Andrew, look up Charlie Price Vintage Speed on TH-cam. He can walk you through the carb rebuild. You can do it, it's not hard.
So where do you get your vacuum for your power brakes then
Hi Gordan, I don't use power brakes.😀

Hey any chance you can do a video on the carb rebuild?
I see you are missing the starter to oil pan bracket which is an important part.
Hi Mark, i forgot about the bracket, Fabricated one this morning. All good now, thanks.
