Hmmmmm ... looks like the hard plastic tube you get with oil suction
pumps. So, what does it reveal?<br>

<div> I started with the BCS kit, so I have the sealing washer
on the dipstick, and I put a screw in the hole in the oil
filler cap (I didn't think solder would stick on the oily
cap, and I wanted 'reversible' at the time). At idle, you
can feel a vacuum if you put the palm of your hand over the
oil filler hole (haven't tried it on the highway).<br>

Does anyone know where I might purchase a suitable
connector which has the correct 3/8” threaded end for
the manifold connection and a 1/2” barbed end for
connection to the PCV? Also if anyone has already
done a PCV install advice appreciated.<br>
