<VV> PCV system question on a late model

[Sethracer at aol.com]

On Saturday, Silicon Valley Corsa and Corsa San Francisco Bay Area members  
gathered at one members shop to work on and do minor fix-up on a 65 Monza. The  
car was left to the clubs by a deceased members estate, and will be somehow  
sold. Details still to be worked out. The car runs and idled fine, but I 
noticed  some blowby coming out of the lower side vent hole on the fuel pump. I  
pulled the air filter cover and checked the upper PCV vent where it feeds inside 
 the air filter. Nothing was coming out of there -except a noticeable hiss, 
that  would go away with a finger over the vent hole. That vent tube is fed 
from the  balance tube, the one with the small air hole - probably what is 
causing the  noise. I am not worried about the noise, only that there is no blowby 
coming out  up here, just from the pump vent.  My guess is that the 90 degree 
vent  tube off of the upper fan housing may be plugged, causing the venting out 
 of the fuel pump hole. At the time, we didn't think to remove the oil filler 
cap  to see if there was any pressure building up. (Always done carefully!) 
We want  to make sure that the car is working at it's best for the new buyer. 
Any other  places to look?  - Seth Emerson
