Larry,
Thanks for pointing that out. Looking at what I considered fairly original cars, I have seen the PCV on both sides. I know Lynn Park's Dirtbag car has the PCV on the passenger side. I have always wondered if PCV location was a running change associated with a particular installation date or engine iteration.
I also know that my PCV should have the brass elbow, but I have not been able to find one. I'm going to install the wire clamp on the PCV hose (like the later 289s installed in Mustangs, etc) and run with that until I stumble across the correct elbow. I'm trying to make my engine look pretty original, but I'm not going to let the smaller details (ones that I could revise later) stymie my progress.
