Here's what I use Doc. 440 w/ Indy SR heads and Indy valve covers. MSD pro billet distributor...I did have to slightly clearance the valve cover to clear the distributor. Very light clearance, no biggy. I have 1.5 ratio Harland Sharp roller rockers w/ a .700" lift roller cam.
For "breathers" I just use a -10an hose off each valve cover that "T" into a breather tank. The weld-on bung fittings on the valve covers are not baffled at all, just open underneath. I really like this setup. Vents the motor very well and no leaks. Open breathers will put oil all over the place and vacuum pumps are a pain in the rear.

Thanks Chip ! Looks like the breather tank is next to the rad on the passenger front fender... I assume you just drain it as needed,,, I like the breather idea if it will keep the mess down under the hood. Do you have to run baffles ?? ( not sure ) Thanks for the tip on the distributor,,,always looks tight to me,,but didn't want to do alot of grinding on the VC. Thanks again Doug

The tank hardly ever needs to be drained. Usually just gets some condensation in it. There are no baffles in or under the fittings on the valve covers. Just drilled a hole and welded on the -10an bung. I just made sure the hole was in between the first pair of rocker arms. I just had to clearance the valve cover a little to clear the distributor, not the cyl. head.

I love the way most pics show the logo milled off on the valve covers. I did mine also, as well as the intake.
LOL, yep. Mine had the logo when new, but I set them up on the DCM head surfacer and cut em smooth. Wish I had a milling machine to smooth out the manifold too.
