Hi, Could someone please tell me what are meant to connect to these fittings? 
At the moment they are kinda not connected.... I have two hoses from ventilations points (one over the flywheel area and the other from rocker cover).. are these meant to feed back into the carby at all, or should I just put some little filters on these ventilation points? thanks. Tim. |

The left one is your fuel drain hose outlet (1/4 inch fuel hose which should connect to a steel pipe which runs along the edge of the clutch housing) and the right one goes to your engine breather ( The fatter hose). Gig |

ok.. so I put a ventilation filter on the flywheel end ventilation.. and the one from the rocker cover I thought I'd connect to the carby... should I have a PCV in there or can I just connect it straight up to the carby? im getting a lot of mayo under the oil cap so want to get it breathing as well as I can.. and i want to get the engine bay as tidy as possible. thanks tim. |

Tim, For my interest only, has the car been running with both ports blocked? I just suffered with a car not starting until I vented the rearmost (float chamber) port. Similarly, the car runs very roughly indeed with the front port unblocked (which I suspect is down to a drop in manifold vacuum). Matt |

The best way to ventilate the motor properly is to hook the breathers up properly and not to stick silly filters on the ends of the outlets so that they block up with crud after a few weeks. They are just underbonnet rice. 
If you hook the breathers up properly the motor will breathe better and there will be less mayo under the oil cap. |
