Good one! Although I never mentioned the part about why buy the cow... As far as an air cleaner, either will work. The stock positioning of the 2 items, breather and PCV are opposite of what you have, however I don't believe it makes a difference.

 

Pigs are known to eat a lot, which can get expensive, though they do eat any garbage you feed them, which can be a plus.
Plus they take up a fair amount of space, and they smell bad.

I have to agree, it makes sense to pay a visit to the butcher on those occasions when you want a little sausage (or even a big kielbasa).

As for the rest of your issues:

• The engine doesn't care which side the fresh air enters on, and which side the old air is pulled from.
That being said, there's no reason not to swap the PVC hoses to their original sides.
Do note, though, that as originally put together, the rubber grommets in the valve covers are different sizes for the PCV valve and the vent tube, so you may wish to wait until you remove the valve covers to switch the sides, otherwise you will experience frustration.

• While on the subject, PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride. PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation.

• The factory air cleaner is more functional than the chrome geegaw air cleaner.
It will keep out stray water, and it helps quiet the sound of the air rushing into the carburetor.
The chrome geegaw air cleaner will flow more air, but that doesn't matter, since your engine can't pull enough air for the factory air cleaner to be a restriction.

• The factory air cleaner will also allow you to connect the PCV air inlet to the air cleaner, as it was originally, rather than having a separate breather filter, as you do now.

But the most important thing is that the car runs and moves, so you're on the right track!

THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS AT MY DOOR STEP TODAY AFTER WORK...and my neighbors cut my grass and trimmed the edges...and the DnD is back on the road again..go ahead Eric oldcutlass put the song up....just cant wait to get on the road again....

 

Nothing wrong with a little sausage, so long as (as von Bismarck said) you don't watch the sausage being made...

I should tell the joke about the mouse with the Mercedes and the Rhino
but I just had a flash of sanity

 

James please do tell, we are all ADULTS right, there's no whinners, or cry babies other than me..and the only one that may complain does not respond to my threads...OH NO #1 I have jinxed myself..I dare not say his handle name either...it may be like the candy man

ANyways James do share

 

So sorry no can do. This is a family site and people don't need to know about the mouse pulling the Rhino out of the ditch with a rope attached to his Mercedes and one day things turned around and the Rhino pull the mouse out of the ditch with.......... and the moral of the story is...........If you got a big enough............. you don't need a Mercedes

 

Which must be why, when I was in college and drove both a Porsche 911 (which I had built myself) and a pink Cutlass convertible with no top and essentially no interior, it was the Olds that all the girls wanted a ride in...

When I was in college, I learned that a sports car might get you a girl ... but a hatchback or station wagon gives you somewhere to enjoy a girl's company.

 

#1 - pink Cutlass convertible with no top and essentially no interior, it was the Olds that all the girls wanted a ride in imagiantion is a WONDEFUL thing

We pretend to want a ride in the olds but our intentions of what we want to ride is not the cutlass....

James - send me the joke PM...

 

Sadly, if busted nowadays, that gets you a spot on the Sexual Offender's List, for life.

Seriously.

Maybe went a bit too far on that policing policy.

 

Octania why do u have to be a debbie downer man....

just reminising, thinking back to the good ole days....

 

Umm, yeah. My missus can never remember the abbreviation for Oriented Strand Board wood product. So naturally she'll ask the staff at the store for SOB wood, which they seem to have an abundance of.

At the grocery store she'll buy PITA pockets. I always have to ask why she'd want Pain In the A@@ pockets, but she just ignores that. Wimmen....ooops, sorry Terry (without an ie). Easier to keep em happy and live with em than Pi$$ them off and live elsewhere.

 

No ie ... but definitely a huge WHY, eh?

 

You need to go back and read

 

@ Professur

Why well let me tell you why..

That's the way Momma spelled it, Ok my real legal name is Maria Teresa but, but she always called me Terry, not sure why and always spelled it Terry, and yes Im a chica, not a boy.

 

Makes no difference to me if you're a girl or boy. And you can spell your name any way you like it. My post was a joke to Allan about what he said concerning his missus. Sorry if you thought it was directed your way.

 

ok maybe a failure of communications here

So u werent asking why my name was spelled with a Y..ok confused

Its ok

 

The joke was that most married men end their wife's name in Why. Why did you do that. Why did you buy that. Why did I marry her. Why is a very important letter for a married man.

No worries. The nature of text communication always has these little failings. Thanks for bringing it up immediately so I could sort it out. Always better that way.

 

Got to LOVE IT

I love to observe the world in the way a MAN views and see things...Thank you for that....

 

If it makes any difference, I didn't understand that your comment was a joke. I guess I'm luckier than most. I don't ask my wife Why a lot. In return she supports my incessant drivel about car stuff, buying parts etc. If anyone in the family has the right to say Why? It's her.

For the record, my response was to direct you back to when I absent mindedly spelled Terry's name wrong and she let me know that.

Geez man...all that dog on rain

skeeters, MUDDDDDDDD in and out the house from the doggies....ayayayaya

its suppose to rain for the next week

 

I'll take some of that....or ta quote from Richard Rawlings down there - 'Gotta get me some of that'. You can keep the mud, I just want the rain.

 

This thread needs renamed into The Lifetime Channel.

 

Come west, young man! No shortage of the wet stuff out here...in fact we don't tan...we rust!

 

Well Koda we dont see EYE to EYE on things anyways,
So If I could change the name, you would probably say something about that name too..

We are suppose to have rain for the next WEEK...
At least my grass is cut Kenneth

I still need to make time to go get a tire for the van, yes Im still humping around on the donut...

 

My BIL lives on the Island at Ladysmith. He keeps telling me how they always have perfect weather with not a lot of rain. Is he conning me?

 

He's about 20 minutes north of me...I'm in Duncan. Apart from dressing appropriately (shorts, tshirt) for putting up Christmas lights and having to do the first cut on the lawn in February, "perfect" weather all depends on personal definition.

 

I thought this was a new new new good morning thread.

 

You'll probably need to cut it again is a day or two with all that rain.

Don't get mad at me for this: I have to water my lawn with an in-ground irrigation system. I turned the water down so the grass hasn't been growing much - just enough to stay green and keep the dogs from turning the yard into a dust bowl - and I haven't had to cut the grass since about October.

 

Ha thanks for that 70Cutty,

this is where u can come talk about my cutlass, pigs, sausage, how to spell my name, rain ,my dyslexia, my chafa lawn mower, SQUIRRELS , and the side track begins.....

 

LUCKY you Kenneth Ive cut my grass 3 times in like 6 wks..Yes Luckily my next door neigbors cut and trimmed my grass for mothers day or it would be LONG again....

in a day or two...its suppose to rain for the next week
and the dogs Im sure are having a field day they love the mud

 

I noticed, you guys covered everything from carburetor, Spurs and BBQ's to grass (not the good kind). Every time I see the new post in thread I start thinking; What are they talking about now.
I learned a lot from this thread, these are few things I remembered:

Half of CO members are named Eric
one of them likes little sausage and now I know why he drives pink convertibles
We are all Adults here, even though my wife says I am worst than the kids
If you got a big enough...........you don't need a Mercedes
woman vs. rusted nuts, woman always wins by using rust nut release
but mochine vs woman, woman lost,mochine impervious to rust nut release
I would rather NOT imagine Eric in a pink dipthong
Spurs..........well Go Warriors - sorry couldn't help. getting ready to go see the game tonight.

 

That was some funny shezt....
I couldn't get to the next line, without cracking up....
you hit the nail on the head...
I will give you Aplus...that said it all
I'm about to pee in my pants....
come out and plaaaayyyyy

 

So it's many hours later, I'm sitting on the couch watching TV, and this is still bouncing around in my head cuz I think it's funny as hell (the wife and I make references to this all the time).

I wonder how many people know where this came from?

 

"up".

 

If we are talking

the Squirrels comment - I wanna say Ice Age
come out and plaaaayyyyyy - The Warriors

 

loved that movie
