The oil filler is there, it is the plastic screw on cap. The PVC and hose from your old motor will be fine if you don't want to buy new. You need the breather (black mushroom looking thing with the bowtie I linked to). and the rubber grommet with baffle (the other piece I linked to)

[oldblue1968chevy]

Ok, so i Dont OR Do need a pcv valve AND a breather thinng that you linked to me..sorry lol just dont understand why i need pcv plus the breather (didnt have it before?)

Obviously I'm not great at explaining things lol. It all makes sense in my head it's getting it out thats the problem.

On all of the carb engines I have personally owned they had a breather/oil fill cap on one cover and a PVC on the other cover. Thats why I said to add a breather. IMHO I think it would be more efficient at doing the job.

If you only had a PVC on your old motor then by all means just use that. I will be the first to admit I dont know everything, and havent seen every combo that works.

[oldblue1968chevy]

On my old vavle covers I just had oil filler on 1 side and pcv on the other lol

[oldblue1968chevy]

Heres some pics, Oh saw a 68 chevelle today broke down (something about he thought the starter wire burnt on the headers), well I had to stop and say hi and check out the car, he was on his way to pick up the rubber and some other stuff for it. I let him borrow my phone to call for help. I wish I had my truck, it woulda been cooler than a honda civic LOL

[67chevy1series]
