Thanks Fellas,
I will work on getting the pics thhis evening. I am putting a used fram and all new suspension on it. The car was painted and with some work I should be able to show nicley.

I am looking for the correct breather, the previous owner got rid of it and put an eldebrock on it, I prefer the original but there hard to find here in Ohio
