My '74 had no positive crankcase ventilation on it when I got it with a Cannon
manifold and Weber 45DCOE carb. On the advice of the list I plumbed into the
intake manifold, in both sides with a "Y" and connected to the breather on the
front cover with a pcv valve in line. Cut down on the oil leakage dramatically.
