After three unanswered e-mails to a supplier about the PCV kit, I decided to
try and make my own for my Tri-carb. From Pep Boys: Purolator valve PV770
$4.79. Brass Tite fitting #43075 $1.99. The PCV valve fits nicely inside the
hose that comes off the top of the valve cover. I did rough up with sandpaper
the end of the valve that goes into the hose and apply a bit of gasket sealer
(non hardening), and clamped it with a hose clamp. Took it for a drive and it
ran great. It MAY have eliminated/ reduced the timing cover oil leak that I
have been having issues with. Also seemed like less engine smell (fuel/ oil)-
but it may just be in my head.
