Recommendations??
...just wondering if there are any difference with brands (the quality and function) as far as with breathers and pcv breathers? Autozone sells some for a decent price, but what do you guys use or recommend??

Re: Recommendations??
I only use Delco or Wix if no Delco is available-pcv, oil and fuel filters. For air filters either Delco, Wix, or K&N.

Re: Recommendations??
For a PVC, any one from your local auto parts store is OK. For oil and air filters, Wix (NAPA Gold) is the only brand I use.

Re: Recommendations??
What's so special about Wix??? Never heard that brand before (since this is my first classic truck).

Re: Recommendations??
I learned about Wix when i was in Diesel school back in the mid 80's, got to see it and a fram ph8a side by side, hands down i have never run a ph8a since, even still had one in my garage and still sits collecting dust..

Re: Recommendations??
i agree with wix or K&N for all filter products, but as far as a simple pcv valve go's i dont think it really matters, its just a way for the engine to vent the crank case. its not a filter really. just my opinion though.

Re: Recommendations??
Wis has more material per square inch and has a drain back valve and if you have ever purchased a Napa premium filter that is a Wix filter in a Napa box.

Re: Recommendations??
OK...so what breather PCV (passenger side) and breather cap (driver side) do you all use?? Wix does not make it? Autozone/Kragens only over Spectre. I dunno if that brand is any good. If not, where do you guys get yours from? Summit? Jegs? Napa? If so, what brand?
FYI: I'm looking into a chrome cap cover type (PCV and Breather cap). LMK. ![]()
