I hope so. I contacted the seller for his specific recommendation, and I ordered the part number he provided. They list it as a universal thread in breather.

Only if you race your car. Because they are illegal on the road in California it will just go in my race box and when I get to the track and check my oil I will install the breather.
Running my car up against the redline repeatedly I see a sheen of oil on the valve cover where I am blowing past the cap. This also means I have a lot of pressure in the the valve train and the crankcase. All the back pressure isn't healthy for my seals, gaskets, etc. Some feel it can slightly slow acceleration as well, but I doubt could tell.
With shipping its almost $70 bucks, if I didn't think it would help the more last I wouldn't bother.

grantar2, be careful with those things when racing, I used one on my speedway engine once and it 'breathed' oil all over the headers !
Had to go back to a breather line with a catch can, not as pretty but a lot safer.
