My engine is a '69 350. It has Edelbrock valve covers and carb. When i bought it it was messed with so the breather just flopped around-sortof-dangling from the rubber hose connecting it to the carb. I bought rubber grommets for the valve covers hoping the breather would stay put then but it doesnt fit. Do i need to buy a new breather that has a neck that shoves into the grommet?, the breather I have now looks like it should be pushed into a hole then turned to get snug. Do I need the breather to have a hose connector to go to the carb? What exactly does the breather\hose do? Im dumb, i know. Thanks for input
