Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Standard Ignition PCV Valve V244, ensure the angled nipple orientation aligns with the existing hose routing on your Ford Escort, Mercury Lynx, or Ford Tracer. The 3/8 inch (10 mm) hose size should fit snugly without requiring additional adapters. It is recommended to inspect the hose for cracks or wear and replace if necessary to maintain a proper seal.
