Engine: 63 V-8 PCV System Parts

[345 DeSoto]

Does anyone (Vendor) offer any of the PCV parts shown in the V-8 diagram?

I got mine from Ebay but I have seen them at some of the swap meets. I'm sure some of our venders have them. I would give Dave T. a call 978-897-3158.

The picture does not resemble a V8, however I have two 63 259s and they are both different, one has the PVC tube attachment bolted into the same hole as the draft tube with a rubber hose attached and the check valve in line with the other end into the base of the carb.
The other 63 has the draft tube covered with a plate and the crankcase outlet is welded to the valve cover with a threaded attachment to receive the PCV unit. The PC valve threads into the assembly and stands up vertically also with the hose returns to the base of the carb.
These are both standard systems. If you order a PC valve make sure it for the correct application vertical or horizontal. David

The '63 V8 Engines are exactly like the Parts Catalog Photo shown here, the PCV Valve has 3/8" hose nipples on both ends and goes to the Carb. Base as it shows.

The Valley Covers with the Threaded fitting welded in, are from a 1964 Model, they take a Threaded PCV Valve and have the 3/8" Hose on the outgoing side and MUST Flow TO that end to go to the Carb. as most aftermarket Valves for other makes do NOT.

If you click the Picture THREE Times you will be able to SEE that it IS a correct '63 PCV Setup in the lower V8 Pic.

altair: if the Engine in your '63 with the Threaded PCV Fitting in the Valley Cover has a Date Coded Engine Serial Number, it is from a '64 or it could have a '64 Valley Cover on a '63 Block.

The number on the block is VCN 305 with the threaded fitting, would that be a 64? The other model V 588353 with the PC valve attached to the draft tube hole and the third one is VC 21416 with a draft tube only.

Would anybody have the part number for the part in the diagram labeled 0102-22...the part that bolts into the Valley Cover on the V8?

Yes it IS a '64, a 259 Assembled in Canada on Dec. 05, 1963. The V8 Engine I.D. Info is right here:

345 DeSoto: the last I checked the PCV Hose Adapter Fitting for the Valley Cover draft tube hole was NLA, but used, can be found at swap meets, some Forum Member's stashes etc.

If you are very creative with a Torch, you could make one from a Draft Tube.

Because of the first numeral being a "3" I assumed it was a 63 model. however I understand it was built in 1963 and installed in the 64 model cars. Thank you for the clairification.

Part number for illustration 0102-22 is 1557726. This is the adaptor, crankcase vent valve. I have a NOS one available. I do not have any of the other items in the illustration.
