I have used the Gulp valve from Datsun. Actually due to limited supply of
the original BL part, my friendly local MG parts supplier was selling them
as a replacement at the same price as the BL part!! Now I don't know if I
went to a Da***n dealership if I would pay the same price, but I did get a
gulp valve for the smog test. However, there is a small wrinkle....the
Da***n part did not have any provision for mounting bolts and the manifold
port connection came out the opposite side when mounted in the correct MG
orientation. I had to secure it to the mounting bracket with one of those
plastic tie wraps.
I did get the car through smog that way. So beware YMMV.
