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.

Why not just use the factory breather. You don't NEED to use the tubes that went to the air cleaner. Looks great under the hood by the way.

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 ?!?!

Sorry. the one I have is a chrome push in vented out the bottom. Typical of what you normally see.
JMO but I wouldn't run the stock one either.

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.

The one I have I ran on stock valve covers so I assume it will work on yours. I think I have an extra D-grommet if yours is old.

Thanks for your help gentlemen. Ordered one tonight and it will be in place soon.
(btw. I grew up in Houston. I have however, managed to adjust to Colorado.)
