Car: 1973 2.0 with dual Webbers
Issue: I have a leak from the drivers side valve cover, and poking around, I know my crank & head venting is not correct, which may be what's causing issues. I wanted to fix this first, before I change the valve cover gasket. I have what I believe is the CB breather box already on the car. It has a hose connected to the oil filler area, one to the fan shroud, and one that is venting to atmosphere. I have a hose port at the base of the carb intake manifold on both sides, that does seem to vent air out. I assume these are the head or valve cover vents, but am not sure. Additionally, nothing in the system seems to pull vaccuum, unless the fan shroud vent does so. I have 3 main questions: What are the hose ports at the base of the carb intakes (front of intake on drivers side, rear of intake on passengers side)? What's the correct routing of the hoses? Where does the system pull a vaccuum? Many thanks in advance! |

I used Andy's setup for years and always had a slight oil film below the cbbox. I added another hose from the box to the carb and issue went away. Not sure if right or wrong but it worked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
