[Healeys] PCV question

[Bob Spidell]

Oops ... should be 'sheet metal screw' instead of 'machine screw.' 

Not enough coffee ...

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.
