Valuable Smog PCV parts, was: <VV> carbs

Just so everyone is aware, the smogger setup uses a rerouted PCV tube
and air intake crossover (I call it a spider - especially on a 140) that
is ESPECIALLY PRIZED if you have A/C with a '66-7 style condenser core.
Using the tube and spider from a smog car along with the non-smog air
cleaner, it allows you to simply lift off the air cleaner. You don't
have to fight the PCV tube for possession of the cleaner, and end up
banging it into the fragile fins of the condenser core. Just plug up the
non-smogger's PCV intake hole with a rubber plug (Clark's sells them).
Also available from Steele Rubber as an "antenna hole" plug for a '57
Chevy - in the all-purpose plugs section.
