[Tigers] Tiger PCV Adapter

[Ron Fraser]

Here is a photo from Brian Nickels of an original Adaptor and PCV valve.

 

Early PCV valves were threaded style, you could disassemble them for cleaning – later style, 1965 versions, had a hose fitting.

Early PCV hose had 1 right angle bend – later style the hose had 2 right angle bends.

The short answer is NO.  This picture is from Bob Mannel’s book pg. 4-41.

 

The PCV valve threads into the Adaptor.

The pictures you sent – that part could work but not original or correct for the Tiger engine.

I don’t believe the original Adaptor is available – it is obsolete.

 

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.  MK II does not use the brass Adaptor part.

 

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

I've attached two pictures and was wondering if this is the same adapter Rootes used on the Tiger.  The early parts book lists the Ford # as 378754.  The Mustang supplier's sell the pictured one for big block cars. Anyone still have their original.
