Standard Ignition V168 PCV Valve

PCV Valve for Toyota and Pontiac Applications

Standard Ignition V168 is a metal PCV valve for crankcase ventilation service on select Toyota, Pontiac, and Buick vehicles. It uses a push-on attachment method with a straight nipple and one hose connector for a direct replacement-style installation.

Compatible with applications such as Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Celica, Toyota Pickup, Pontiac Sunbird, Pontiac Grand Am, Pontiac J2000 Sunbird, and Buick Skyhawk, this PCV valve is built for emission control service where stable crankcase ventilation is required.
