It's only a "sort of" PCV valve and it didn't start until '72. 
Keith's problem was that his engine had only half of the system 
installed. His modified system didn't have any provision for sucking 
on the valve, which left him with no crankcase breather. That '72-3 
system ONLY works with the stock setup.  

The '68-71 system does not have the PCV valve.
