[DeTomaso] Breather cap

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

Dave, with most valve covers, both have grommets; one holds a cap   while 
the other has the PCV. Can you reverse the grommets and their functions?   It 
might take some plumbing, but the size of the hole thru the grommets are I 
think similar so you could add still oil with a small funnel by pulling the 
PCV if it was in the right cover. This might be easier than welding etc to 
create something new. Dunno- I've never had the problem. 
Another thing that's possible is to cut the surge tank bracket loose from 
the right inner fender and move it outboard an inch or so. I did this to mine 
for more sparkplug wrench clearance on #4 plug.   The new tank location 
snuggled right against the decklid shock. The cut bracket & tank was reattached 
with sheet metal screws but welding/brazing could also be done. This might 
produce enough clearance for your present cap. Take another look before you 
do anything drastic- J Deryke
