[Healeys] Oil vent

re: "Can I run the oil vent hose into the vacuum nipple on the intake?" 

Only if you want a massive intake/vacuum leak. You need to put a PCV valve in the line to the manifold, and for best results seal off the dipstick tube and the small hole in the oil filler cap.

I have bj8 carbs and manifold on my bt7. Can I run the oil vent hose into 
the vacuum nipple on the intake? I do not have the nipple on my k&n air 
filters. I bought a cool looking vent breather filter, but I don't like the 
smell of oil vapor.
