Hi Guys,

I have a 360 in my 1970 Barracuda. It has stock valve covers and a triple nipple crankcase breather. I want to replace the valve covers with something to dress up the engine. I am looking for a crankcase breather that has at least one nipple for the fuel tank vapor line and fits into the typical 1 inch ID grommet on aftermarket valve covers. Or is the answer to find a chrome triple nipple breather?

Thanks!

Don't forget you will also need a pcv on the other valve cover. So the breather also needs a way to pull air in.

Yep, I figure I need to keep the PCV valve. I was looking for a nice looking breather with one nipple.
Thanks!

Hi,

I guess what I was look for is something that looks like this:

but with a nipple for the fuel tank line. Then I can run the PCV in one valve cover and remove the breather and fill through the second valve cover.

Does anyone make such a beast?
