A PCV valve is really nothing but a air flow regulating valve.
The carb itself provides the same function, where
the fat hose form the canister and valve cover connects to it.
If a pedantic mechanic insisted on seeing a PCV valve, you
could probably point to the plastic fitting on the carb
where the fat hose attaches...
