"...But as a PCV valve is just a check valve, why not go to the local car parts shoppe and check which PCV's they have in stock come close to fitting? They usually have dozens."
This is not exactly true Chaz, the PCV valve is calibrated for a certain flow of crankcase gas content into the intake system at a certain manifold vacuum, and the calibration is matched to the characteristics of each individual engine. Using "any old valve" that appears to fit physically may work fine or may have undesireable consequences. Best bet is to find a correct valve. The Capri valve is likely similar but I do not know that for sure. Worst case, use a valve from a similar-displacement (1.5L-2.0L) 4-cylinder engine, that will probably be compatible, and be aware of performance problems that might be traceable to the different valve.
