I saw that one, looks nice.

This is the one I have been looking at and recommended to 53 willeys, he bought one already as well and it was like $21.50 shipped.

53 willys put larger nipples on it though, comes with like 3/8 hose and as the one on the valve cover is closer to 1/2 or 5/8 the 3/8 hose may not flow enough.

Looks a bit nicer as well however!!!!
Mark just put larger nipples on his and I'm guessing ti didn't cost him an additional $16. to do so.
Looks like they are about the same size as well.

here is mine...like dan said it has been modified for 5/8" hose....
seems to work great so far... and the price is right....I looked at the box style ones..I went with the round one cause it was smaller and cheaper.
not the best pic..but you get the idea..

sorry for my n00biness. What is the breather for exactly? I know that lots of oil vapour comes out of it if you have bad blow by and it feeds it into the intake (for oiling of the turbo? I don't know... maybe just somewhere for it to go?)

Essentially it filters the air coming out of the crankcase (blow by) and lets the oil settle out of it condensing in the catcher can then allowing the air to breathe out. Thus no oil splattering out the crank case breather tube.

wtf how are they selling these kits for so cheap???!!!

and why not have the drain go right back into the oil sump???  8) this would be a cheap fix for anyone with bad blowby...  :wink:

i don't know why thier so cheap? but i think a fitting tapped near the bottom and a hose going to the block would take care of the oil?

you wouldn't need to! there a perfect spot on the front of the block!
early rabbits that had the hose for the vac pump and a small plate bolted to the block with a hose attachment for it! later it was just blocked off with a plate because the vane pumps i guess did not need an exit? so it would be easy to drill and tap that plate! easier then doing the oil pan? even easier just get an older style that had a place to attach a hose!

Actually, the links work but that site forces you to enter a zip code before you can see what the link is for.  The box for zip code is near the top at the center.  Enter your zip code and you can see the part.
