The easiest way would be to buy that "Metco" breather that replaces your oil cap. but its $50. I'm cheap and work in a metal fab shop, so there you go.

from reading your other post, you welded a tube on the drivers side valve cover, but it looks like you just have the oil cap replacement breather on the passenger side?

do you need to put a breather on both valve covers, or can you just use the oil cap replacement on the one side?
