stupid question about breather - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**old Rusty C10** · 05-06-2008, 02:34 AM

i went and bought an edelbrock air cleaner and they give you a kit on it that allows you to put a fitting on the bottom so that you can hook the tube from the breather up to it recirculating exhaust gasses
currently i have the stock valve covers on the motor and at some point when i get hold of one of our members here ill be working on getting some chrome or aluminum ones on there, but my question is even when i put them on do i have to run that hose or can i get the breather cap that eliminates the hose.. I dont really have emmissions to pass on the truck, and there is no catalyctic converter on it, but i also dont want some highway cop who is in a mood to give me tickets for the trucks emmissions and i want the truck to run ok

yes you can buy a push in breather and stick it in valve cover, the pcv valve is on the other valve cover.

Hose from the filter or a breather - it don't really matter, tis just an air inlet - the PCV in the other valve cover is what sucks the oil vapors out.

the pcv doesnt go into the air cleaner tho this hose goes from the breather to the air cleaner i just wanna make sure its ok to eliminate that
