9" Breather.

I totally overlooked the breather situation on my car when I installed the 9". I was wondering what everyone is doing. I have read a couple posts about vaccum line about 18 inches long. I was wondering if a check type valve like gm used would be neccessary? If so anyone have a part number. Thanks ALot!

I just used 5/16" rubber hose, ~12" long and left the end open. Works fine, no leaks anywhere.

Ran some hose up along the upper panhard towards the passenger side, then went about a foot towards the rear bumper. Just zip tied a shop towel around the end.

You don't need a check valve or anything other than about 2 ft of vacuum line. We zip tie it up to the driver side gas tank strap. Bob

I believe it's a K&N valve cover breather, picked it up at a local place. I liked it cause you could put a screw into the top therefore being able to mount it out of the way.

I would not leave the end of the hose open. I had mud wasp build in vent hose and cause a pinion seal leak. I know that sounds stange, but it did happen to me a couple of months ago. I am looking for some type of check valve to put in the end of the vent hose. Anyone have a good idea???????
