    I have a wanted ad in the wanted section but was wondering if any company is currently making these Cal Custom style peanut breathers. I want them exactly like these. Pot metal chromed. I need some for my project. I don't want aluminum. I want chrome ones for my steel valve covers that will get chromed. If anyone has some they are willing to part with I would appreciate you sending me a PM. Here is a picture of what I am after. I prefer the smaller of the two pictured. I don't want Moon. Thanks

    from tulsa, ok

    Do not buy anything from "Sonny Mac" industries or Sonny Mac's Hot Rod company." He will scam you.

    Ya, I looked at Moon's website and saw only aluminum ones. I want steel and chromed.
     
  5. That's good advice, introduce steel wool into your valve train! Jesus!!!

    I'm thinking that any chrome ones would have been chromed aluminum. I don't ever remember any steel ones being advertised in any of the adds.

    Yes, Chromed pot metal ones just like the the two I have pictured above. That's what they are. I have no idea what that guy above was talking about. I made no mention of steel wool. Must be off his meds. I thought I was pretty clear on what I am looking for. I guess I should have said pot or white metal in the beginning. The ones above are not aluminum. They are too heavy to be.

  16. My apoligies to curbspeed, but I was sure I read a post from someone who said they used to get the steel ones and stuff them with steel wool, my post was directed at that poster, who either doesn't exist or deleted his post, not curbspeed, Anyway, my bad.:eek:

    Norm I went to that carb site and could not find anything. What area where you sending me too?.
    Rick's garage? What are you talking about. That is not the same thing as I am looking for. I am looking for vintage ones or ones exactly like the pictures I posted above. I don't want aluminum. Thanks
