I thought of that possibility. However, I would need the pcv valve and 
either the adapter to connect it to the intake manifold or an earlier 
intake manifold. Except I still have the distributer to intake manifold 
connection rather than to the back of the carb - I'd probably need to 
replace the distributer to make that change.

I don't know. Anyone have any of these parts floating around?
