Re: Breather

Hey all. The early breather assembly is as follows; 1) plastic cap 2) Nylon 
(or something similar) mesh (actually doughnut shaped-and pretty large-it's 
packed in the housing tightly) 3) large flatwasher 4) steel tube w/ flange 
that fits down into # 5) slotted locknut which holds the housing onto the 
aluminum mount. I have never modified this breather assembly from 
stock-except to install an O-ring rubber gasget between the housing and the 
mount-I had a small oil leak there.That cured it. I washed the mesh in 
solvent and blew it out w/ compressed air. To remove or tighten the locknut, 
I made another flatwasher that would fit down inside the housing, and that 
fitted the slot in the nut. Lock the washer with a vise-grip 
pliers(vertically), and turn.(can lock w/ a second set of vise-grips if 
tough). BTW it's a '66 SB.
Merry Xmas All
