It's been 3 years since I started this thread about the "One Year, One Application Only" 66 Tri-Power plastic PCV connector. It seems it has finally gotten the attention it deserves and Ames offers it for the guys that want it factory correct! Their pic looks like it is real close the the OEM design.

Also two different test car articles from 66 magazines clearly showing this unique connector!

Picture #2 has a clip for the power bake line that holds it to the intake manifold , any leads / pictures or description of that part avail. ? Not talking about the bracket that is bolted to the intake , the small wrapped offset clip . Also 66 tripower all use a 3/8" fitting for PVC 64/65 used 5/16" .

This one that's held in place by the valve cover bolt?

65 and 66 used this exact set up for power brake equipped cars. Also 67 was the same except the bracket was a different design. I'm not sure how the 64 power brake cars were designed in this area?

For 64 5 6 tri-power were them clamps used on all areas of the power brake line ? I have seen then where the fitting is @ the carb. but unsure @ the end where the hose attaches @ the booster . thank you

No clamp was nessesary at the (hose to PB check valve) booster as seen in first pic below.
These OEM pinch clamps were used at other locations such as the CPCV hose to oil fill cap (also seen in first pic below) on 66 models and on vacuum linkage Tri-Power GTO's as in second pic.
The return hose on power steering equipped cars also used the pinch clamps.

I have one of those 4 way plastic connectors for a 66 tri power manual with smog and I won't be using it. Also have the smog air cleaner bases. I'll trade for steel 66 non smog tri power air cleaner bases.

These are also advertised through Inline Tube with correct part # and WMP. Probably the same part as our host.
