Vacuum Check/Delay Valve

A check valve and/or delay valve is used on the thermostatic air cleaner. During cold weather operation, and when under full or hard acceleration, the valve will postpone opening the air control door to outside air. The engine will continue to receive heated air for a short period to improve driveability.
