1" push-in breather?
Does anyone have a source for a push-in breather that will fit the D-shaped grommet on my '73 BB? There are hundreds of 1-1/4" I can find, but no luck with a 1" push-in unit. I deleted the emissions stuff but so far all I have is the old breather that fed back to the air cleaner, which I replaced with a simpler unit. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I have the factory unit, but I am looking for something more finished looking, either chrome, or alum, or paint. I've seen them that resemble small air cleaners, with open sides and paper or washable filters. I just can't find one that will push in a 1" rubber grommet hole ?!?!

If I can't find the air cleaner style, the one you have sounds like it would work, but it has to have the 1" male push-in at the bottom, like the old factory unit pictured. (the factory unit is as much a fitting as a breather, and doesn't look quite complete.) If it does can I let you know by the end of the day? I am in Colorado, zip 80524. Thanks again.

Thanks for your help gentlemen. Ordered one tonight and it will be in place soon.
