Default breathers

im wanting to clean up the engine bay a bit and i am looking for what size of a breather i would need for the pcv. hole for my lt1 valve cover. i want a open style where you see the filter element not the kind that everyone has with the chrome covering it.

I think I just pushed mine in, but not sure. Was easy enough that I didn't have to do anything special.

If your talking about the VC's I just used normal breathers they just fit right in but it sounds to me like your talking about where the PCV goes on the IM for that one I was just thinking the same thing... but would that not create unchecked air after the Maf?

I had to get a different valve cover for the driver's side (late model 1st gen SBC).

I used the "stainless steel" breather from autozone, fit right in the old grommet perfectly

I put my breather in the PCV spot (back of pass side VC), you just need to remove the PCV grommet
