The alloy rocker cover is still made by Offenhauser; some mods are needed to make it work correctly with the crankcase vent system — see here and here. Has your VE got the 1bbl or the 2bbl 225? |

Hi guys, Dan can you take a look at this Mr. Gasket #720-2059 chrome breather cap for Mopar with PCV-valve? I had already picked this for my order of valve cover, they claim it has baffle and PCV. Do you think it could be the right thing to use? Looks nice! Olaf |

That Mr Gasket part is only a breather so you still need a PCV valve. |

Hi Tarzan, welcome to the site. Love your VE, and your Hardtop of course. Is the VG parked in a customer waiting lounge? or something similar. Where did you get your white walls from? they look great. Please tell me you got them somewhere in Perth. |
