Sounds reasonable...BUT... I wouldn't be too happy about an air/fuel
mixture blowing out there, particularly with an uninsulated spark plug wire
next to it..... YIKES!!!
There isn't even a spark gauze.
What would Health and Safety have to say about that.

[Healeys] Non Healey Question...Blower Bentley
?I was at the Ellerslie Intermarque Concours ?in Auckland last weekend and
had the opportunity to take a close look at a "1931 Blower Bentley".
There is a part of the engine that I cannot figure out and was wondering if
anyone on the list who can shed some light on this.

Where the carburetors would be mounted on a non supercharged engine there
are these very complicated devices.

I would guess that they are some sort of relief valve but, as the carbs are
on the blower inlet I don't think that is very likely.
Anyone know?
