I have completed the PCV valve installation by using a 3 inch piece of =
the 5/8=E2=80=9D hose on the manifold side and inserting a 5/16 =
=E2=80=9C heater hose into it with a hose clamp. Then the =
5/16=E2=80=9D hose attaches a 1/8=E2=80=9D x =C2=BC=E2=80=9D brass =
fitting with a hose clamp from the parts store I installed into the =
small opening on the intake manifold to the right of the large opening =
for the brake booster. No leakage and strong negative pressure have =
reduced my oil leaks into the bell housing and the clutch dramatically.

=20
Listers,
Attempting to install a PCV valve on our tri-carb engine per Norm Nock's =
Tech Tip (page 98). Made an adapter (5/8"-18 to 3/8" barb) that =
replaces the plug in the front inlet manifold. 3/8" hose to the PCV =
valve. Two questions:
1) Does the PCV valve need to be orientated in a particular way? Norm's =
diagram shows it horizontal and I have seen them on non-Healeys vertical =
(engine side down).
2) The valve cover tee is 5/8" diameter, the engine side of the PCV =
valve is 1/2". Anyone know of a short hose with different diameters on =
each end?
Thanks.

Cheers,
