If the rule is that it has to have a PCV valve, you might have some talking to
do. There is a little pipe on the carb that acts like a PCV valve by its
placement in the vacuum prior to the throttle disk. From the carb it connects
to the oil seperator pipe that breaths from the crankcase. For looks you could
splice a $3 pcv valve in this pipe, and remove it later, or explain to the
authorities that the carb handles the pcv action on its own.
