I have completed the PCV valve installation by using a 3 inch piece of =
the 5/8=E2=80=9D hose on the manifold side and inserting a 5/16 =
=E2=80=9C heater hose into it with a hose clamp.    Then the =
5/16=E2=80=9D hose attaches a 1/8=E2=80=9D x =C2=BC=E2=80=9D brass =
fitting with a hose clamp from the parts store I installed into the =
small opening on the intake manifold to the right of the large opening =
for the brake booster.  No leakage and strong negative pressure have =
reduced my oil leaks into the bell housing and the clutch dramatically.

Listers,

Attempting to install a PCV valve on our tri-carb engine per Norm Nock's =
Tech Tip (page 98).  Made an adapter (5/8"-18 to 3/8" barb) that =
replaces the plug in the front inlet manifold.  3/8" hose to the PCV =
valve.  Two questions:

1) Does the PCV valve need to be orientated in a particular way?  Norm's =
diagram shows it horizontal and I have seen them on non-Healeys vertical =
(engine side down).

2) The valve cover tee is 5/8" diameter, the engine side of the PCV =
valve is 1/2".  Anyone know of a short hose with different diameters on =
each end?

Thanks.
