Spark Delay Valves: Description

Spark Delay Valves (SDV) are used on many engine applications to permit closer control of vacuum-operated emission control equipment. All SDVs have internal sintered orifices to permit a restricted air flow in one direction, a check valve to allow free air flow in the other direction, and a filtering device to keep dirt and moisture from the emission control equipment.

NOTE: For location and names of various SDVs, refer to appropriate "Ford Vacuum Diagram" in this section.
