Hi Jack, the little valve thingy goes in the vacuum line between the
inlet manifold and the servo unit. Keep it and install it. It's a
safety issue for the diaphragm in the booster can as a good healthy
backfire through the carbs could damage the diaphragm. Anyway, that's
what I've been led to believe!!

Subject: Check valve
Friends,
I recently ordered a number of parts with a European continental
supplier, among which a new Lockheed Brake servo. The servo is in
backorder, but among the parts which I already received I found a check
valve/non-return valve which apparently is meant to be fitted between
two hoses. I never ordered this item, but I have vague memories about
such a valve being used somewhere in a Girling system. Question: should
I return the part as I never ordered it, or keep it as I apparently
omitted to order this one together with the new servo?
Thanks, as usual
