Since this engine didn't have the original valve covers, how do I determine the setup for the PCV valve and breather/combo? BR[], checked your site and maybe I missed it but the picture you have shows a right and left system, this car shows it only on the right firsttraderegistry.com/forsale/5_07/65olds/ from what I can see so does RAMZ car (only on the passenger side). The assembly manual shows two methods but to the best of my ability doesn't say when to use which? One utilizes the single hole whereby the back of the carb vacuum and the air cleaner attaches to the breather under the passenger side 2). The back side of the carb goes to the drivers side and the piece from the air cleaner to the passenger side. So which system would apply in my case? |

The Lansing built cars receives the passenger side breather cap, the Freemont cars get the drivers side PCV system with just a hose on the passenger side going to the air cleaner horn.

All 65 Cutlasses and 442s built and sold for use in CA used a closed PCV system. The system used a PCV valve in the driver side valve cover, a top hat style oil cap on the filler tube, and a unique breather on the passenger side valve cover. All other cars made at Fremont but sold outstate used the 49 state style breather and AC OIL open element breather on the oil tube. The hole in the other valve cover was sealed with a rubber grommet. Photo is of the 49 state breather, the California breather, and the rubber plug on a Washington state based 442. Lansing built cars have no hole in drivers side cover and no PCV valve. First pic is the Lansing and non CA unit, middle is California only, and last is the plug used on Fremont built but not CA sold cars.  |

I'm looking for a nice AC oil cap (open style) When you say "open style" are you talking Freemont or Lansing type? I've got a couple Lansing AC Oil caps but not the Freemont. |

The one Jeff bought doesnt say Oil or AC on it, cant remember which one. May just say OIL on it. I made the one in the picture from an Olds cap and a Pontiac cap.

Fuckin semantics again, a fucking judge at a freakin show wouldn't catch that and if he did you know it's time to just drive the car and enjoy it. That is TQ BS. |
