Wound up going with a Chevy oil cap for one side, and a Ford PCV breather for the other side. Thanks for your help, my friends. I am going to try the "crinkle" paint on them and hopefully it turns out. My intake is kind of crinkled, so I'll try and match it.

BTW- good morning thinkers!- White- didnt those motorsport valve covers have a regular twist in breather cap that had the motorsport logo on them? ( i briefly considered some for my old cobra 2 back in the day) man, that stuff could be hard to find now!
Gotta get started, fellers! TTYL!

This is a replacement for a post that I didn't like.
Ever wonder what ever happened with Amazon (among others) drone delivery service?
Amazon got FAA approval Aug. 2020 to start the service but it never started. Why?
Birds. Another war on birds and the birds won again.
Some birds were attacking the drones, some were just flying along and getting sucked into them. I feel in a bird strike with a Canada goose the drone may not win.
Also, even if the drone does win who want a get a box with bird guts and blood all over it.
Now you may read that the issue is the turnover of people in the program but who wants to be in a program that isn't going to look good on the resume?
Imagine this line: Spent 4 years in the songbird slaughter program.
I truly believe that if anyone can find a solution though it will be amazon.
All this info is unofficial from people who left the program, so it could all be fired people making excuses.

This is pretty cool... at the end of this video, Paul does an interview on a "talk show". They briefly mention "Stirrin' Dirt", which is the guy I've done some derby timing for in the past.

On the beepers? I don't know but I would guess they use the same crappy, cheap Chinese beepers they sell.
They need to teach the drones to take evasive maneuvers like this

I haven't found that one yet. But I did just watch one where he gets the motor out of a truck that says "Colby's Tires" on it. Colby is one brutal derby driver. Like... literally brutal. He was out there for one reason. Winning. I heard he got DQ'd for good after he went after an official a few years back (haven't seen him for a while). I did see Paul and Matt in one of the videos in West Jordan (the Beet Down) talking with a bunch of Stirrin' Dirt shirt guys. Didn't see any of the guys I know though. The derby scene is pretty damn good in UT though. The county fair by me had around a 60,000 dollar purse, as I recall.

Stopped by Walmart to pick up a few things this morning, the shelves were pretty empty again. I guess they can't find anyone to stock the shelves over there.....yep, nobody wants to work anymore.
They have in store Subway at the Walmart here, I grab lunch there too often ..I guess. While I checking out, the girl the at the Subway counter across the way was gesturing with her hands a 6" or 12" gap. My mind went right in the gutter with that one, and it's still there ....unfortunately.
