Just buy a cheap breather with a hose attachment. Then you must attach the proper hose (one suitable for a pcv valve, not just a fuel hose) and run it into your air cleaner base. You can buy all the parts for about $15.00 at O'Reilly auto parts. You don't want to fail and have go back for a second appointment.
Ok, thanks. So I need a breather with a hose from the valve cover to the air cleaner. Sorry for my ignorance here, but do I also need a connection to the carb (if so, to where)?
