Well, it took me four trips to different parts stores but I finally found my PCV grommet. I have a 65 with a 240/six. Three of four parts stores did not even list the part on their computer. The one that did turned out to be the wrong size. I went online and found a ford part number and then tried to cross reference. Got the grommet and did not fit. I have a 1 1/4 inch hole in the valve cover and the PCV is 3/4 inch in diameter. The parts store folks just stared at me like "HUH?" when I asked them to search for it. All their dimensions are to the thousandths and there are about seven or eight dimensions that could be made to fit (a little tighter the better). No luck at three stores. Finally found a store with a large assortment of "HELP" grommets. Found three that were a possible fit. Opened all three in front of the salesfolks and mic'd the dimensions. The one I found that fit was from a buick 455 from the 70's. It is part number: DORMAN 42061. Was a little tight to fit the PCV in but snugged up nicely to the valve cover once it was in.
I guess I'm just venting---should not be this hard to find parts!!!!
