Yup. See here: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/engine/cv101.htm On the rash assumption that you might have a PCV valve available, see here: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/engine/cv102.htm Barney Gayord 1958 MGA

Which carbs? From October 68 the original SUs had breather ports coming off the top of the throats, connected to a Y-piece, and then piped to the front tappet chest cover. The rocker cover should hav

The gulp valve is used with the air pump to reduce back-firing on the overrun. No air pump - no gulp valve. Other than that the ventilation arrangements should be the same as before, unless you have

Paul, as usual, you knowledge astounds! Here's some information that might help with your recommendation for MY car, not Danny's. Your previous note addresses that. My car is a '70 US-spec Tourer but

Hi Rick - I did wonder after posting if you meant PCV rather than gulp valve. The problem with the PCV valve is that they *do* fail, but usually the problem is noticed more as high oil consumption be

I have ony good things to say about the PCV valve. I wish I had one on my MGA, but alas I am either too cheap or too lazy to make the modification. It is a neat gadget that does nice things and is ge

No not the pre-PCV system but post PCV system where ports on the carbs between the butterfly and the piston provided a relatively constant low-level of vacuum. I doubt you will detect operation of th
