I too was thinking of using the catch can. Real performance cannot be achieved by introducing oil mist into the air fuel mixture.

It’s not a great set up but having a Partial PCV system is better than it expelling pressure from the crank case right?

Marine engines of those eras have had some weird hose to the flame arrester, as opposed to a direct intake port fitting. So I agree on the funky.

Remember these engines don’t use an open valve cover breather on the other side.

Pcv systems direct crank case pressure to a exit source and actually improve power.

We’ve tested belt driven vacuum pumps that a - 12 inches add 15 hp.

It’s not a big number but it tells you that reducing crankcase pressure allows improving the resistance in the crankcase as certain blow by , and rotation of crank can build up this working pressure.

Dry sump systems on our vehicles today ,and in the performance world also create a relief of crankcase pressure in the design .

So in short don’t think of it as a oil mixture that is hindering performance ( it wouldn’t be noticed like a straw sucking out oil).
Look at it as a direction of crankcase pressure to reduce internal resistance.

Puke tanks and catch cans?
That why they call them puke tanks , and catch cans.

My .03 cents is attempt getting your pcv system working in some basic form.

You won’t regret it.

doesn't mean as much when I have to ask...

Have you ever inspected your exhaust manifolds and gaskets just to make sure you're not sucking in water?
