I would strongly suggest reading Ch 8, page 8.1 in shop manual to understand the ventilation.
The ventilation from top of engine, under intake, to PCV Valve, to inlet under carb at intake to carb insulator (circled in green from shop manual picture) is the same regardless of what state the car is from.
For California emission cars the oil filler tube cap (circled in orange) was sealed and ventilation was instead recirculated from left valve cover directly into the air cleaner housing and drawn into engine via carb air as indicated in the serviceman bulletin I provided link to.
You indicated your left valve cover has a vent hole so assume you have a California car. Regardless, your ventilation from top of engine to carb insulator should not be disconnected or blocked and should have the PCV valve inline before reaching the carb as seen I diagram below.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
Vintage Air AC
Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments 1 Like
Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
