    I am growing very impatient with mooneyes. Also theres are "ribbed" not finned. I have some finned no name valve covers for my sbc that I am almost positive theycame from moon. Would they match? Basically I am asking if anyone else her in Southern California has these in stock. Im near anaheim.

    I thought everyone would know what the breathers would look like. But I will go ahead and post them in a bit.

    Maybe if you showed a picture of your valve covers it would help. The line between "Ribbed" and "Finned" may seem clear to you, but not to someone reading this, the terms are somewhat interchangeable in most peoples minds.

    I guess it would be the second picture. The only thing is that my valve covers dont have that sharp of a fin. They are more like the valve covers on the top of the page.

    I could machine up a cap that would press on to a chrome breather then send it out for polishing. Can make it out of billit or a cast barstock to get a softer polish finnish.

    I was looking for the same thing but my issue was I need it to have little tabs and twist on, not just push in. Haven't been able to find.

  23. Denise,

    Mine is a cover that can be used on the Mr. Gasket 2061 quarter turn breather (or equivalent). http://www.obrientruckers.com/ecom/product_images/244/2596/#ProductImages

    Good luck on your search,

    Dennis
