I just downloaded and read PCV.txt . I am looking for a substitute
for the original PCV valve for early HS4 MGB's. Scott Fisher suggests
using a PCV valve for a 1800cc Toyota truck, and connecting it to the
Carbs. John "just call me Mr. PCV" Ross suggests this is fine, except
connect the PCV to the intake manifold. Sounds good to me. Can anyone
(with authority) suggest a particular aftermarket PCV valve that should be
used?
I can temporarily use the pcv valve from my father's '66 'B, however...
