1. Make sure you get the grommets designed for cast valve covers--not steel ones. they are thicker.
2. Machine out the holes instead of "punching" them out if you can. They seal better that way.
3. I drilled out the center of one of the passenger side filler cap and put a barbed fitting with a nut on the back to hold the cap together. this allowed me to use the breather hose in a somewhat stock location.
4. Ignore the extra chrome breather--I put that in for fun. If you want to keep the stock configuration, just don't drill that one out.
Hope this helps
P.S. It's a 440--I just keep the 383 pie pan for fun.
