I'll definitely have to check it out sometime soon when I'm back in Spring.

Ordered some breathers for the valve covers today from So Cal Speed Shop. This will eliminate the engine pressure and look pretty good doing it. I'm gonna install them on the end of the vc's closest to the firewall. Thanks 67Cheby for pointing those out to me!

It should work if you have another way of venting the engine, pcv, carb intake from the filler.

How do you like the alternator bracket you are running? I got the dbl hump heads also and been trying to figure out what to do about the alternator.

Seems to be sturdy and have not had any issues with any of the brackets. The bracket on the headers does not hinder the bolts from tightening down and staying tight. I'm happy with the outcome!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 
Cool! I have already stopped by the speedshop here and priced them but wasn't sure how sturdy they would be. Guess this is the route I will go. Thanks

Of course the main bracket only works with headers, but you probably already knew that. Hope this settup works for well for you!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 
After talking to 2 very knowledgeble people about the engine vacuum and breathing i finally got a clear answer. The setup that i am doing should be more than enough pcv for the engine. My breathers should be in tomorrow and i can get them installed. @ 67cheby, looks like we'll b runnin the same settup!

Maybe I'll just keep running this settup......if you want to do this it's a lot cheaper. Some old vc's, a little tape, and a small peice of cloth......$0. :lol:

You guys are too much!:lol: I thought the neon green matched my paint, at least when it's in the sun, at the right direction, with you head tilted, holding your mouth just right, and only on Wednesday.:lol:

The brown truck stopped by my house today! I finally got my breathers in from SoCal. I opted for the MOON brand for the nostalgia. Install is really easy and took about an hour or so to be totally done and to reinstall the vc's. First I used the gasket to mark where to drill the holes, drilled first with a 7/64 then stepped up to a 1/4 inch bit. They came out nice, and fit really good!!!!
