Since  we are discussing stalling at low idle, I'd like to hear input from
those  "in the know" about PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valves. I
recently  installed one on my G, which had the road draft tube previously.
Since the  device allows vacuum to pull vapors from the crankcase into the
intake  manifold, doesn't that act like a vacuum leak? I must say, my car
has been  more prone to stalling than it was before I installed the PCV
valve. Any  thoughts on this? I don't recall seeing any different procedure
in the  service manual for adjusting the carbs per se.

Bob,
 
I installed one on my 383 wedge last year.  All I did was readjust the  idle 
settings at the time, and I've noticed no difference.  When I chose a  valve, 
I got one from a similarly sized production engine.
 
The valves are designed to flow different amounts at different manifold  
vacuums, so I doubt you're having trouble that way.  I'd recheck your idle  
settings.
