[Tigers] Tiger PCV Adapter

[Ron Fraser]

I just noticed that in Bob Mannel’s book in the 1966 section there is a PCV valve with AC stamped into it.

This is the later style PCV valve with the hose fitting.

 

Was there an early style PCV valve with AC stamped into it?

 

It would appear that the PCV valve supplier was making PCV valves for Ford and AC Delco.

                As I side note: The MKI & MKII Tigers used AC Delco PCV valves, not Ford/Motorcraft.

That seems very strange.   The Parts Lists only indicates a Ford Part number.

It would be interesting if anyone can confirm an AC Delco part with a photo.

 

I agree the brass adaptor was probably made by Weatherhead.

There is a repeated symbol on this part – photo by Ken Firch – it should be the suppliers Logo.

 

I have a 1990 Weathehead catalog and they do show that symbol – W with an arrow through it.

I was buying and selling Tiger parts in 1978 and this brass angle fitting was obsolete from Ford then. 

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/Motorcraft.
