Nah, just kiddin' - likely there was some cost that they wanted to reduce when they changed the breather cap & hoses; fuel line's on the right side, and fuel vapor recovery probably played into swapping sides.

Nobody at the big comapnys make changes unless it saves them money or they had to comply with some new goverment regulations, and we all know who pays for those changes to comply , correct Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
