[Spits] Fuel Pump Blanking Plate

[Joe Curry]

Doug,
Unfortunately, it does not provide sufficient venting.  I found that out
myself quite a few years ago.  Providing venting for the crankcase does
resolve the problem.

Does your car still have a PVC setup?  If so, there
should generally not be any pressure build-up.

Even if you have no way to hook up a PVC valve
(non-stock carb?), the hose fitting on the rocker arm
cover should be able to provide venting.
