72 Weber install pcv is in the way?

[Mikehoncho7240]

I’m back guys thanks again for the distributor info was very helpful. Ended up getting a DUI.

Now replaceing carb with Weber and fuel tank with new one. (Rust contamination)

The Weber is interfering with the hose nipple thing for the pcv valve. See pics.

I guess I need a nipple thing in a 90degree?

Or what did you guys do?

Thanks! Kyle

Yep that would fix your issue.

Just plug that port and use a different port

I wonder if there is a 90-deg fitting for the PCV hose? British Standard Pipe Taper is probably what is in your lower photo, in between your index and thumb? Pipe fittings used on these are really close to JIS? Or, the original-ish carb insulator block, under the carb, and with longer studs enough for a sandwich of flat-washers on top of the carb, and lock-washers, if you have hood clearance.
I'm going to reserve my opinions on the Weber.

Back to the first post, thats not your PCV. Thats a manifold vaccumm port.
PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) would be on the block. On my 9/72 its on the passenger side of the block near Cylinder #1 (front of engine).

You likely dont need that port if you are going to a Weber and removing the smog emissions equipment.
Plug it with the appropriate British Standard Pipe Taper plug and move on.

My 9/72 had a Weber when I bought it and the only manifold vac port needed was for the brake booster. It comes out the side of the intake manifold rearward of the carb (off the right side of your photo).

From the SOR carb id page, there are all these tubes that come out of the F carburetor insulator. Those are the vacuum source for the PCV or the brake booster? The Weber adapter eliminates that part, so the vacuum control valve was the conflict with the Weber fuel inlet barb. I might be
