on an original tri-power you have a filler tube on the front of the intake so the valve covers have no holes (remember FE tripowers were only stock until 63). in the large hole in the bottom of the manifold there should be a metal basket that holds a piece of aluminum wadding and then a plate with a nipple sits on top of that. on mine the hole in the back of the manifold has a small brass fitting with about a 45 angle and the PCV screws directly into it (just like an 8V). then there are two short pieces of rubber hose and a J shaped metal tube to connect the PCV to the nipple on the manifold plate. the manifold parts are available on ebay all the time and i assume there are several suppliers (Mr. F?). the brass fitting is a little tougher but is the same as a mid 60's 6 cylinder or Y block fitting as is the PCV the correct part as called for in the parts book may be tougher yet to find. the hard part for me was a correct original J tube but i even found an NOS one of those. as far as power brakes go i am at a loss for a full size cars as the ford illustrations do not show it but on tbirds there is a seperate vacuum port under the center carb. the parts book picture shows a different fitting for the PCV on the tripower than on the 8V but mine isn't (i have a Tbird)and on a galaxie type intake i don't think there is a place to mount it as shown. here is a pic from the parts book. hawkrod
