PCV Valve, Fitting and Hose

Looking for ---Fomoco C7AE A PCV Valve  [45]                                                                                                                                                                  Block--Gold Cadmium, block shaped, right angle fitting  C80E B

They are both reproduced. Is this for a '67 500?

There is no part number on my original block. The PCV was an NOS unit. The part number is on a plastic disc that slides over the threads.  They sell the disc separately. Perhaps Bob can provide you the number if it's missing.

Long are the discussions about the ID tags/rings on the PCV valves and if they were present on assembly line units.

Invite each to do their research focusing on their specific year and application as patterns may vary

Of course there are always owners/builders that will purchase and apply every sticker and label available believe that they are correct for their car.

The 90 degree fitting block does not have any number markings. The pcv on the other hand will have the C7 in the case of 67 and C8 in the case of the 69 engineering numbers. FYI the 69 pcv will be black chromate and not silver like the C7 PCV. I have seen too many survivor cars without to think that the paper ring was installed from the factory. It was more a service part identification IMO.

^^^^^ Amen.  It's quite confusing when you lack good reference.  Some sellers have burnt many because of just this issue. It's why I deferred you to Bob on this one. My C7 valve has the ring. It was an NOS Autolite in the box. I didn't know if the ring belonged or not.

Jeff's advice is sound. You should be doing your own research and not taking the word of the seller

 Assembly plants used the engineering numbers when assembling vehicles-engines-transmissions, etc. , not parts and service part numbers. Plastic rings would not be on assembly line parts. Many times there is a VERY distinct difference between an NOS service part and an assembly line part , other times they are the same.

Well, I have seen labels on parts on untouched cars.  However, I agree. Most are just the engineering numbers stamped in. One on a 19,000 coup A/C clutch over the weekend.
