[TPR] Valve cover breathers

[John Bentley]

agreed. I use a vent with tip-over protection since my cap is sealed as well.  I think I got it from Pegasus racing.....

Asa,
 
I think if you don't have a vented gas cap you need some type of vent. My gas cap is threaded and not vented.

Asa,

Just remove the charcoal canister and plug the vapor line at the gas tank.  You should have one breather element (can get from K&N) and a fill cap.  That's all you need to do.

If I remove the stock air cleaner from my 351C engine in the Pantera, in 
order to install a K&N drop-base air cleaner with filter and filter 
top...  I will have two hoses that go nowhere.
- oil fill cap breather hose to stock air cleaner
- charcoal canister vent tube to stock air cleaner

What's a guy to do?

I see there are some nice breathers available but what is the best 
recommended solution to my predicament?  Should I get a simple push-in 
breather that I can put in the oil fill cap?  Is there a better breather 
solution that can replace the cap?  How did -you- do it?

Then, what about that pesky charcoal canister?  Should I simply remove 
it and place it gently on a shelf with a tag for future restoration?  If 
I do that, what do I do with the vent hose from the fuel tank?

I feel like such a novice.
