What breather to run w/ these valve covers?
Hey guys,
I have the GM Performance VC's for my 454 and they have a 1" hole cut in them for a breather/PCV setup. Right now I have a PCV valve hooked up to one of them (that you can see in the pic) and the other one has a cheap-**** Mr. Gasket chrome breather right now. The hole is very small, and after looking at Summit/Jeg's, etc all I can find are breathers for 1.25" holes.
Any suggestions? I'd really like to run K&N breathers, but am not sure they make a push-in breather that has a neck small enough to fit.

You can get a K&N breather in 1" OD with shield or not. The number is 62-1520 or 62-1170. I have one on my L-82. It is 3" by 2 1/2" high. About $22.00. I got mine from my local performance parts shop.

Garson,
Thanks for the heads-up. Is yours 1" OD including the grommet? The breather I currently have is ~5/8-3/4" OD and then with the grommet it fills the 1" hole in the covers nicely. I did more research and found the part you listed and they also make them in 5/8 and 3/4", but I cannot tell how that is measured...with or without the appropriate grommet. I'm going to assume for now that I will need something smaller than 1" OD since the hole itself is 1" in diameter.
Thanks again.
