Yes, sounds like an effort. Thanks for the replies. After reading the article above I was considering the idea of tapping the manifold.

Just a thought: Maybe I could source a couple of 161 pcv carbs and use the bases with the X2 spindles. I better have a look at Harv's guide before I post any more dumb ideas.

No-go. The carburettors remained unchanged; but the inlet manifold was revised to take the PCV tube.

That bit of vacuum is also good for stopping oil leaks as well Clay

If there ain't no oil under it, there ain't no oil in it. :mrgreen:
