Re: 1964 292 Valve Cover
dagnabbit:
You could add a PCV to your engine. I have a 292 in my 1963 C10 and run a PCV, and obviously later year 292's ran a PCV.
There are a couple of things to watch out for in setting it up. The PCV valve must be protected (baffled) from sucking up any splashing oil in your valve cover. A valve cover designed for a PCV usually has some kind of piece of sheet metal shielding where the PCV sits on the cover. The more baffling the better!
You also need a source of fresh air for the system. This is usually a simple breather mounted on the valve cover as well. Typically, the PCV mounts in the back of the cover and the breather up front. Some systems pull fresh air from the air cleaner assembly. And baffle the fresh air breather as well!
If your 292 is stock, you could use a reputable supplier for a stock PCV valve from a later year, say 1966. Otherwise I would recommend the ME Wagner product.
