I've got an '88 carbed engine. I was wondering if it would do any good to put a breather filter comming off my valve cover. It would replace the line going from the valve cover to the air box. I've seen this done on injected engines, but I want to know if it would to any good to do this. I would have to add another breather filter on the air box too. Would this do anything good/bad? Pictures are welcome.

ive heard it isnt good to do. the only reason i have one is because i have a custom intake and need to filter the air going into the valve cover somehow.

there isnt anything wrong with having one, it just lets the valvecover have more ventalation.
is more ventalation good?

I put a K&N breather filter on my valve cover and it seems to cool the valve cover a lot faster, so I'm assuming that it's better. I did notice a rpm increase when I put it on.
Can we get some pictures?
I don't have access to a digital camera but I do have a scanner/printer/copier, so I will take pictures and a develope them and post them. How do you post them on here? I'm still kinda new here.
i swear that i heard somewhere on this board that the breather filters were inefficient, sorry for the misinformation i guess. heres a pic of mine, in case anyone cares.

I always thought that the stock pcv filter allowed the vacuum created by the intake to seal the valve cover better, while preventing the build up of pressure.
Anyway I have some pics of the filter on the valve cover on my site.

i don't think there is much vacuum while you have a pcv filter before the air box ! ( just a thougth !? )

I know the PVC Pipe when connected to the stock air cleaner system put alot of oil into the air cleaner system, the C pipe has oil all over and the air filter (On the bottom) was allways soaked in it.
