Michael,
You are correct, what is pictured (FVP2003/11) is not a gulp valve
despite
Smith's own packaging. In fact, if you go to their catalog they call that
part number a "crankcase emission valve". A _gulp_ valve was used on MGBs
and had several ports of different diameters (FVP2301), as well as a
"crankcase emission valve" (FVP2003/10) that is similar to the Triumph one.
So, a CEV = a PCV?
This does fit a GT6, btw AKA 151658.
