Bill, I have searched for emissions compliance for my Calif. '74 and have not 
found it necessary to have a PCV valve. I do not believe that the stock 
exhaust manifold on a '74 has a location to accept a PCV valve. As far as I 
can tell you need the proper routing of crancase fumes from the valve cover, 
carbon canister, and stock carbs that are very well tuned, timing correct and 
well tuned. Doesn't need the anti run on valve either. As good measure use 
the highest octane gas and get that car good and warm and drive over 10 miles 
before the test.  That's my research on it.

Greetings, fellow listers!

Today I offer the list an easy opportunity to collect their daily allotment
of "teacher" brownie points.  This is also known as "Bill has another
seemingly silly question."  Should a 1974 Spit have a PCV valve?  If so,
where the heck does it go?

Just wait until I start on the GT6.  Brownie points galore.

TIA, as always.
