[Tigers] Tiger PCV Adapter

[Ron Fraser]

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

I don’t know if the later style PCV is original to my engine.   I only know this it is as purchased, I’m the 4th owner.

 

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 later style PCV valve and hose.

 

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

The PCV Adaptor is listed for all Tiger engines – no help there for when this part was changed.

 

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

 

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

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

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

Please participate.

Thanks

 

Ron Fraser

My crossover Mk1a  B382……91 came to me with the adaptor. 

 

I am the 2nd owner and have no info whether the prior owner made changes.

 

Any changes were made pre-1980 which is when the car entered long term storage.

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I don’t believe the original Adaptor is available – it is obsolete.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