1967 L36 PVC Hose

[Stephen G.]

Can someone please send a picture of the routing and hose ends of the PVC hose from a 67 427/390 car.

Thanks

Steve,

I don't have any from a 390 HP as I'm not familiar with the L36. How long is that PCV hose supposed to be?

Re: 1967 L36 PVC Hose

I'm not near the car now but the hose is over 1' long. The PVC is in the left valve cover and the hose goes around the front of the carb to to its rear right side. The Long Island hose has a molded right angle on one end and I'm not sure if the right angle goes on the PCV or the carb.

Steve,

I've misplaced my '67 AIM . The JG shows a photo of the L36 PCV configuration, but unfortunately the photo doesn't clearly show which end is the 90*.

......just checked Noland's book.....Pg 413 photos show that it looks like the 90* end goes to the valve cover. It is a C60 AC equipped example so I'm not sure if it's different on a non C60 engine.

edit...Interesting that the JG states that clamps were not used to secure the hose, however the photo shows a clamp at the valve cover.

I'll pull out Nolans book. My car is AC but not power brake. Looks like it came around the back of the carb to pick up the booster in PB cars. The PB car has the 90 on the valve cover but it's not that clear on the other.

It looks like K19 is a factor also. Those 2 photos must be 2 different engine configurations.

A few photos of a 1967 390/427 PCV hose.

Re: 1967 L36 PVC Hose

You also must remember that Nolan's book did not feature ALL factory photo's. Some of them were shot at shows and swap meets. Nolan's book is the greatest Corvette book ever written but Nolan was trying to show certain things in each picture so everything in each picture is not factory 100% correct.
Rest in peace my friend. We love you and there will never be a book published greater than yours!

Stephen

thanks for the pix. It looks like the 90 is on the carb.

Re: 1967 L36 PVC Hose

The 90* end should be on the PCV valve. It should clip on the manifold stand the go around and clip on the carb clip then into the base of the carb.

this is my 66 Chevelle 396/360 (same top half has a 427/390)

Re: 1967 L36 PVC Hose

Keith, Your 66 396 PCV hose is fastened a little differently than a 67 Corvette L36.
Check out the 67 AIM UPC L36 A9. The only hose bracket is about 3 inches long (part# 3846117 item 9) and is attached to the right front carb mounting bolt. The hose has no other support brackets, as shown in my earlier post photos.

Re: 1967 L36 PVC Hose

The manifold stand would have been installed at Tonawanda so therefore not in the AIM. That's how it was explained to me.

Re: 1967 L36 PVC Hose

Keith,
If a part is in the AIM with a part# then it was installed at St Louis. If you consult the AIM for your 396 Chevelle, you might find the Carb called out as a part as well as other "trim" items.
Attached are a couple of photos of engines, SB & BB, in the shipping stacks and there appears to be no Carbs. The distributor is present... probably to fill the hole.
You'll notice each engine has a flat plate in place of a carb to prevent "trash" being placed in the manifold during shipment. In the background of the photo in color there are some 348/409 engines.... no carbs. Things such as fuel pumps, alternators, shielding, and other "trim pieces" were installed in St Louis for Corvettes; don't know about Chevelles......

Yes, I don't think that the carbs and associated hardware were ever installed at the engine plants. This was always done at the vehicle assembly plants.

Re: 1967 L36 PVC Hose

The part number referenced is the 425HP version in 1966, and for 396 Chevelle, but was not the 390 version - at least in 1966 for Corvette. Some say that was urban legend, but the clip exists in repro form. Anyone have a link to those old threads and the part number? They are not coming up in the searches.
