 I was buying and selling Tiger parts in 1978 and this brass angle fitting =
was obsolete from Ford then.=20
I believe the brass angle fitting was made by Weatherhead.

I am 90% sure that all the 260 MKI Tigers had the angle fitting PCV adapter=
, and it was changed with the 289 MKII Tiger.
As I side note: The MKI & MKII Tigers used AC Delco PCV valves, not Ford/Mo=
torcraft.

This is a question that is not part of my Original Tiger engine study.

I don=E2=80=99t know if the later style PCV is original to my engine.=C2=A0=
=C2=A0 I only know this it is as purchased, I=E2=80=99m the 4th owner.

 =C2=A0

Did Ford stock pile these adaptors for the Tiger engine build, well maybe.

If so it is a very good question as to when the change was made to the late=
r style PCV valve and hose.

 =C2=A0

The Parts List is no help because it lists changes by Vin #, Ford made chan=
ges by engine #.

The PCV Adaptor is listed for all Tiger engines =E2=80=93 no help there for=
 when this part was changed.

 =C2=A0

The only way to understand when this change happened is by Ford engine # or=
 with period photos of the 60=E2=80=99s that at least indicate a Vin # to g=
ive us a reference point.

 =C2=A0

Original Tiger Engine Study is online on the TE/AE web site.

It has been online since April 2021, there are only 13 entries.=C2=A0 I had=
 hoped for many more by now.

This is an easy questionnaire, no engine tear down required unless you want=
 to.=20

Please participate.

The short answer is NO.=C2=A0 This picture is from Bob Mannel=E2=80=99s boo=
k pg. 4-41.

=C2=A0

The PCV valve threads into the Adaptor.

The pictures you sent =E2=80=93 that part could work but not original or co=
rrect for the Tiger engine.

I don=E2=80=99t believe the original Adaptor is available =E2=80=93 it is o=
bsolete.

=C2=A0

Ford fazed the brass Adaptor part out as a cost reduction, replaced by the =
PCV hose with 2 right angles in 1965.

It is curious that even the MK II Part List shows this Adaptor.=C2=A0 MK II=
 does not use the brass Adaptor part.

=C2=A0

I do not know when this change took place on the Tiger engine but my F21KA =
engine has the 2 right angle PCV hose.
