    hi all!
    I am trying to find a 4 barrel carb spacer with a vacuum port for my 58 fairlane 500 with the 332 fe engine. I am trying to convert to a pcv system as the road draft tube is missing and I really don't like that type system anyway. the carb is a motorcraft 4100.
    the only vacuum port on the manifold is for the power brake vacuum and I am not sure that it is a good idea to use it. i have been told that a 67-68 carb spacer will work but have not been able to locate one.
    thanks for any help that you can offer!!

    thanks for the replies! I have found a spacer thru summit (trans dapt trd2584) that appears to be what I need so I am going to order it and try!

    ok-I received the trans dapt adapter and installed it and it worked great-got good pcv now. the holes on the adapter were slightly larger than the carb/intake venturies but the engine seems to run fine so I am going to run it and see how the engine performs. I do need to plug the road draft opening but am not sure what to use--rubber freeze plug?
