Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Thanks Bro, it sure feels good having it makin sweet tunes again. But now I have some ventilation issues with the block and may be cuttin holes in in the back of those nice painted valve covers. Not a bummer but a chance to make it look even more trick than before!

Not really a good place to put a breather on the top of those classic valve covers. Maybe one of the old Offy elongated pedestal style ones would fit above the Chevrolet script.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
I had a good day workin on the truck! The airride is working.....almost perfect, and some of the wiring was done. This one wire alternator kinda has me stumped, but I will figure it out soon. All of the vacuum lines are starting to look ugly so I am going to try and make the installation a little a little cleaner lookin. Figured I would get a pic of the engine since this is as complete as it has ever been, and that feels great!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
If you haven't cut the valve covers yet, think on this for a bit.
You already have the oil filler tube, they make breather filter caps for those, don't they? Looks kind of like you already have one, but with a hose connection...? Some cars (like 88-91 civics with 'dpfi' - honda's term for TBI) had a threaded PCV valve - you could drill a hole through the manifold into the lifter valley (not into the intake runners), thread it (I'm sure it's a metric thread, although there are probably other threaded PCV valves out there), install the PCV, and then between that and the breather-filter-equipped oil fill tube, your crankcase pressures should be fine. The cars that came with those valve covers used the road draft tube to relieve crankcase pressure, so that's proof you don't need to ventilate the valve covers themselves. I look forward to seeing this one in person someday. Last edited by 78c10; 09-09-2011 at 11:16 AM. Reason: better wording on where to drill |

If I am seeing this right, I think it will all straighten out if you disconnect the vac line between the manifold and the breather filter and cap off both ends. If I'm not seeing it right, then I'm all wet. ![]() |

Hahaha, looks cool enough to keep it on!! 245/35-20 front and 245/35-22 in back, I think. It's been awhile since I put them on, pretty sure that they are 245 and I am positive they are 35.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
One of these days I'm going to take a long road trip in my truck and Texas looks like the place to be to see some killer trucks.
