I have a 413 smallblock, 10:6:1, .550 cam, I have been running both a breather and PCV valve, and was wondering if I need both, or should I run one or the other? No smog, 68 street/strip barracuda.

Breather in one valve cover PCV in the other. You need cross ventilation.

Ok that's what I've been running, I just didn't know the mechanics of it, but that makes sense.

Breather brings in atmosphere, PCV is a 1-way valve connected to intake, so crankcase vapors are sucked into engine & burned.
