breather hose and nipple 68 Chevelle 327

[Lynn]

I would think this would be very simple. Maybe I am just a tard.

I need the hose and the nipple from the valve cover to the breather for a 68 small block.

Chevelle / El Camino if it matters.

As shown in the pic.

I do a web search and get nothing but aftermarket hot rod parts.

Try using 1968 chevy 327 pcv hose as your search request

Thanks Lee. That gets me the hose, but not the nipple.

This place has the hose with nipple (and a wittek clamp, which I don't need) BUT,,, they are out right now.

I already have a hose. I am using a piece of electrical conduit for the nipple temporarily, but it isn't a very tight fit.
Anyone have a straight nipple? I know they are out there, as I have one on my Studebaker truck with a similar set up as the El Camino.

Bill,

I had a laugh when I saw “gathering bolts”.

Every time a box is delivered for me, the wife says ….. more nuts and bolts.

Not only did I score tons of awesome / cheap GTO parts from wrecking yards in the 70’s - 80’s, I stuffed my pockets with OEM nuts and bolts from those cars.
These small, but very important items make the difference in an old car.

So, I have quite a stash of factory bolts.

About 25 years ago, there was an old junk yard near my Dad's house in Florida. They had one 67, one 68 and two 69 Camaros that were pretty well stripped. I quickly learned that if I picked a part I wanted, it was $20. And it I picked a part I wanted, and filled the box with miscellaneous small parts, it was still $20. I remember one time, I was removing a part, and I pointed to a part and said, "Dad, pull that part" Dad said, "That rusty old thing?" It was a proportioning valve for disc brake car. Lots of hardware in the trunk, floor, and cowl. I got the correct trunk lid bolts on the floor, as when someone salvaged the seats, they left the bolts behind. (same bolts and markings)

Got the hose and coupler today. Guess FedEx was correct.

Thanks again.

Well Chris, when this current project was blown apart for it's first "Restoration" :rolleyes2: 20 years ago 2/3 of the original fasteners didn't make it back on the car, even though all the important numbers correct and scarce small parts are intact. So spending a few hours blasting bolts and j-nuts for parkerizing. Always good to have spares on hand too! - Bill W

Bill,
May I ask what "Parkerizing" is? I have never heard that term before.
Thanks, Bill

Parkerizing aka phosphate plating Bill. :beers:

Many restorers do that themselves, but there is a gun restorer near me that does a great job, quickly and low cost enough I can't afford to fool with it myself.
