road draft tube ?

[61falconwagon]

Can i remove the road draft tube and block it offon my 170 and go with a closed system from a 1965 200? To make a long story short my motor it blowing a good bit off smoke out of the tube and it stinks me out :O) The motor is on it's last legs and i plan on getting another one soon. But i'd like to see what classic inlines is going to offer in the way of crate motors.

I ran a sealed cover on my old 170. at speed smoke came out the tube and got carried away. at idle the PCV sucked it in.

I'm running mine in reverse. Instead of the tube blowing out, mine now has a small crankcase filter attached there and it sucks in air. From my valve cover PVC, I ran the hose to the intake manifold thus expelling heat, fumes, etc through the exhaust.
