I found one of these spacers on ebay with with the port plumbed to the secondaries for my PCV conversion. I haven't installed it yet.

You usually can get studs at any local hardware store. charliemccraney (3/1/2018)
Front will be the most centralized location with the a/f mixture in all situations. If it is placed anywhere else, the crankcase gas will favor the cylinders closest to the pcv port, which will lean those cylinders more than the rest. That's why the port at the back of the manifold is not the best idea.

56 fairlane; Can't that adaptor just be flipped over to work on the front of the carb? Or am I missing something?. In the meantime a local parts guy put me onto a kit listing with longer studs available from Summit/TransDapt #2103. However.. its an open spacer, which probably isn't the way to go for me, as my "B" intake is modified to Dual Oval,similar to the one that was posted with photos recently from Doug T.. Comments?

In general, you do not want an open spacer on a dual plane manifold. That turns a decent dual plane manifold into a mediocre single plane intake, which is not good for street performance.

Yes, I think it is a Casco. PF, it might be but I'm thinking it needs to be on the secondaries, right?
Does anyone know what PCV valve is the best one to use?

Good point Charley McC !.. So far no luck finding 5/16" N/C/ NF thread longer studs. But local auto parts/hardware counter man said they might be able to order them? (he had 3/8" in stk) . Casco's spacer kit photo is very small & didn't appear to have longer studs with it, ? and it's $70.35 + shipping. My cost to western Canada with exchange is likely close to $150 ! Not happening! . May have to find a 1" spacer & as suggested earlier, try to alter it to work. - Thanks to everyone that contributed on this .

I think I saw that one when I was looking for spacers but went with the Casco version because it's port was on the back. It was also the same price with shipping.

I think I saw that one when I was looking for spacers but went with the Casco version because it's port was on the back. The FORD spacer shown had the vacuum inlet port installed to the rear, even though you can turn either spacer to front or rear to adapt to the application. The FORD spacer may not seal properly on the unique EZC-B carb mounting pad whereas the CASCO should, it's being machined flat and supposedly expressly for the early FORD intake. Differing size studs should be no proble, NAPA, local speed shop or SUMMIT/JEGS. Here is a photo of a CASCO KIT INSTALL-   .
