Default Ford Escort Cosworth Dump Valve

Afternoon all,

Been out of Fast Fords for a while and the waits been worth it as I've finally purchased my dream Ford Escort Cosworth. Its fairly standard bar some simple mods done to it over 17 years ago and its been garaged and covered by a lady owner for the last 17 years.

So, I've never been a fan of the atmospheric dump valves and this car has one on so i'm looking to change it to uprated standard ones in the hope for the chatter. It hasn't come with the old hoses and currently has SFS hose for the atmos valve. Can any show me a picture of placement for a uprated standard DV and possible point me in the direction of where to get them?

Prefer the rally chatter to the Essex boy sneeze.

Thanks in advance.

Where does the small pipe off the top go? Got an old blank plug from my old rst but not sure on the small pipe. Just blank that off too?

that is just a vacuum off the inlet to pull open I’ll open the sump valve when the throttle shuts so you can blank it off at the manifold.
