Edelbrock valve cover question
« on: July 06, 2015 - 02:59:12 PM »
I was wanting to get a set of these covers, but they don't have enough cutouts for oil fill, breather and pcv valve. Has anyone delt with this? It's for a 73' 318. The covers are pn# 350-4295.

I have the same valve covers, and like Dan said, valve/breather combo on the pass side, and just a normal breather on the driver side that I pull to add oil

Well, some breathers have baffles underneath them that makes oil servicing difficult. But thanks for the info ppl.

I have the baffles and they don't interfer with oil addition. Just have to
be a little more careful.
