Like most every other picture I've seen, mine obscure the parts in question so I'll have to shoot one to post here. I can't exactly say that it took me 4 years of research but today I discovered that I'd saved a link to this thread so I figured I'd share the results of what I found. I'll try to get a picture up tomorrow.

In this picture you can see the crankcase ventilation hose coming from the back of the block next to the distributor. As that hose continues you can see a small bracket that's a different shade of orange than everything else. That's because it's an original piece that I haven't yet repainted. Hard to see is the pcv valve that bracket is holding. Then the hose continues to the front of the carb. You can also see that the oil cap is a push-on type with the wire mesh visible from underneath. Air enters through that cap, continues through the crankcase, leaves at the back of the block, goes through the pcv and is pulled into the base of the carb.

What you can't see is the air cleaner base that has NO connection for crankcase ventilation. This is the standard setup on a 67 Camaro SS350.

The only other setup I've seen is described earlier in this thread.

For those that appreciate the fact that I came back to clarify this in spite of the fact that it's an old thread and I don't come here much, you're welcome. I've seen this done incorrectly on first place trophy winning show cars, so I figured the info might be helpful.

Sorry, but I just noticed that this is in the 2nd gen section. Should be in the 1st gen area. Not sure how that happened since I don't even read the 2nd gen stuff.

I think it's great that you took the time to come back and clarify what you found out. Sometimes these things just go away and we never know the outcome.

I like Camaros. Doesn't matter much what year. Got any pics of the whole car?

Why don't I give you a little history on the car first. I appreciate the interest.

I got the car back in 1975 just before starting my senior year in high school. It was my first car. I drove it until 1986 when I parked it because it had deteriorated so far. I didn't know what it was when I got it, being my first car and all. I learned later that it was an original 67 RS/SS 350 4 speed, with a fairly uncommon color combination. Marina blue, black SS and pinstripes, black vinyl top, and black deluxe interior. Most Marina blue cars are trimmed in white. I decided to restore it stock, including the original color combination.

Here is a link to a picturetrail.com page I set up. Several albums document the car going back to the 70s. Progress has been slow lately because it's just so hard to make time for it. The car was obviously in horrible condition, so I had to make a decision. Restore it or scrap it. Well, after all of these years scrapping it wasn't an option. I tell my friends (jokingly of course) that it's not a restoration, it's a RESURRECTION!

I'm sure some of you will immediately recognize the Camaro's "older brother" looking over it's shoulder from the garage. My next project, a 57 Belair, 2 door hardtop. I hope you like the pictures.

Yes, it was pretty bad. I just couldn't let it go.
