- - CA SB100 question: PCV and what else? (http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/all-cobra-talk/123570-ca-sb100-question-pcv-what-else.html)

I'm curious how the various 8-stack DFI systems work? Mine just had the little K&N filters on both sides of the valve covers. With 8 independent throttle bodies there wasn't a place to complete the PCV circuit. I was surprised but I didn't have to do it in Colorado anyway. The car was registered and titled in CA as a 65 Shelby Cobra (I think pre-dated the SB100 stuff) so was it exempted?

Not sure about how they handle the PCV with an 8 stack or Weber set-up (I know people have done it though).

Regard the title. That would not be a legal title in CA, even if it was titled before SB100. If someone had bought the car and was going to keep it in California, they would be running a huge risk keeping it titled as 65. SB100 would be the only way.

Tkb is right, - however Santa Clara DMV no longer has the good personnel working there., = be polite and know your stuff. -- if you need help , send me a PM and I can talk you through it.

Steve - That's too bad, since the Santa Clara DMV was THE place to go to find knowledgable staff that actually knew the ins and outs of SB100. Fortunately, people can get a lot of advice here on CC or through their local Cobra clubs.

I just made sure to wipe the hoses down with Goof Off to remove any existing labeling on the hoses and had absolutely no problems getting through the BAR Referee at Golden West College in Huntington Beach. All the referee wanted to see was that I had a closed loop system in place with the PCV valve in the valve cover connected to vacuum on the carb (used fuel line for that one) and a closed breather cap on the other valve cover with a heater hose connection to the base of my open air cleaner. Again, I have done this successfully with both my Superformance Cobra and a 1932 deuce highboy. Guess what happened to that heater hose connection to the breather cap about two seconds after I got home from the Referee? "Gone like a '59 Cadillac"!!

Glad I saw this. I think I have all the parts I need to get this done. I have the valve cover grommet, PCV valve, and an "EPA" hose to go to my carb. For the other side, I bought another grommet, a breather cap with a 5/8" fitting, and another fitting I'll install on a cheap air cleaner base. Problem is that I couldn't find the proper hose in 5/8" size anywhere (several local parts stores, Jegs, Summit). If anyone knows where to find this hose, it'd be great. Otherwise, I'm going to use the Goof Off/Heater hose approach.
