I have a 65 A100 using the stock valve cover with the two raised chimneys for the oil breather caps. If one chimney needs to include a pcv valve who sells a breather cap with a built in pcv valve that comes with the clips to push into the chimney? Or, is there another set up that would work? Thanks

Yes, the rear chimney should have a PCV valve. Someone here should be able to come up with the cap which holds the PCV valve. The front chimney should have a filtered breather. A later model breather with a hose connection is better for emissions, but will require a later matching air cleaner to accept the hose.

Thanks, Joshie for the info. I thought I would need a pcv valve but I am having trouble finding a cap that comes with a pcv valve or has the right size grommet to fit the chimney where I can insert the pcv valve.

There's no grommet, it's 100% metal on metal. Crankcase breather is Stant 10061 without the hose connection or 10070 with a hose connection. The PCV valve adapter is also 100% metal and will need to be found in a wrecking yard or from a board member as it's not a maintenance item. I had some, but have parted with almost all my slant parts. V8s of that era used the same part too.

I'm really not the most knowledgeable here, but if you have the same set up as me (65 Valiant), I think the rear "chimney" should have one of these (I hope the links work):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-64-69-Pl ... m570.l1313
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-64-69-Pl ... m570.l1313
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-64-69-Pl ... m570.l1313

And then you need the correct PCV-valve like this (Not sure if this particular one is the correct one. I believe that originally there was a different one for the 170 and a different for the 225. So, double-check):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NORS-MOPAR-196 ... 0&_ipg=192

The cheaper and much easier (but not so good looking) way is to buy a grommet and plastic valve. I have understood that it is the newer version for our engines and should work for the older too. Check e.g. Rockauto for the parts. I have so far kept the original (nicer-looking, in my view) system.

Hope it helps
Maurice

To embed those long hot links format this way: text to be highlighted

Using your link:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-64-69-Pl ... m570.l1313

Would look like this with no spaces between Chimney Below I left a space between = and link for illustration, and then how it looks when embedded; just a word or phrase will be seen:

Thanks for the advice wjajr, I'll try that. They did not look very reader-friendly when I posted them. I must say, though, that my head started spinning when I tried to decipher this computer language. I had to sleep over it.

I'll give it a try:
breather cap

See if it works...

YES! thank you

Thank you for that information. I did see the metal set up like the link you sent but the place I looked wanted over $100 for it and that is too rich for my blood. Although, the pcv valve is also pricey. I tried to find a grommet that would fit the chimney but no luck, all were too narrow. I ended up drilling a hole in a breather cap and gluing in a pcv valve. I'm not sure if that's a good thing to do, but it was certainly less costly. Again, thanks the research.
