Title: 1968 GT350 oil breather hose routing
Post by: Beeler422 on August 16, 2023, 01:11:10 PM
Where does the hose from the breather cap on the driver side connect to?  I've searched around but can't find a picture or a description.

Thanks

If I understand the question, and not sure I do, it connects to a nipple under the air cleaner base behind the carburetor.

Isn't that where the pcv connects? 

Sorry if i didn't word it right.  I'm talking about the oil filler cap on the driver side valve cover.  It has a nipple on it for a hose.

No the PVC goes to a nipple on the back of a spacer under the carburetor. (I think)

Oh sorry, I thought that was what you were referring to. I don't remember a nipple under the air cleaner.   I'll have to have another look.

Perfect!  That's exactly what I needed.  Now I just need to find the fitting for it.  Anyone know where I can find the correct fitting?

The breather hose connection to the air cleaner base is made into the base, not a separate piece.

Ah OK.  I guess I need to take it off and have a better look.  At some point someone used some silicone and just closed it off.

So thar being said, anyone know where to find that hose?
