Default I had to install them on my 514

Most crankcases have a very low positive pressure, and it gets much worse if you romp on it, in my case enough to blow a slight oil mist out the dipstick, (naturally ) right onto the headers!

I installed a billet PCV & breather and a ss hose/AN system, ......breather on the driver's side, (hidden in a billet breather look unit) PCV in the passenger's side, fed into the intake thru a port. You can also feed it into the large unused tube sticking out of most carbs, but since my carb is temporary, it made sense to put it directly into the intake. No leaks now except for a tiny weepage around the rubber grommets, no big deal at all. For the dipstick I bought a nice billet dipstick and ss tube system, perfect now. The stock unit from Ford was not street worthy.
