[Healeys] PCV question
Frank,
You could buy the kit from BCS--it's not too
expensive. Worth it for
the instructions and explanation that comes with
it. Also comes with a
gasket for sealing the dipstick tube and the manifold
fitting. You also
want to seal the vent hole in the oil filler cap--I used a
small machine
screw with a nylon washer so it's reversible.
OTOH, it's a
common part--Type 1 IIRC--that you can get at any parts
store (you want the
metal 'inline' configuration). It's been a while
since I installed the BCS
kit, but I believe the barbed hose fitting
that came with the kit for the
manifold was the wrong thread and I ended
up tapping my manifold, which I
regret. Found out later there is a
'fuel type' thread fitting that might
have worked without tapping that I
saw at an AutoZone.
Either way, you'll
have to match up the different hose/valve IDs and ODs.
