Can somebody please post a picture of the inside of a slant valve cover so I can see what the baffle looks like and how it is positioned in the cover. Need to add a baffle to my new chrome cover. Thanks a lot.

and

If you got the new chrome valve cover from ebay dont waste any time putting it on, just throw it away. I bought the same one and cut the baffles out of a junkyard valve cover, and riveted it in, looked real nice.

But 2 months later, the valve cover was leaking like a sieve, nothing but a headache, get a junkyard cover and chrome it, you are better off.

Yep, what he said.

funny thing i just got one at the yard in fontana. i was trying to get a picture to ask what your it came off. Got it from a van not sure of the year

it looks like the one in the picture in the post with the long breather neck and a metal pcv valve.

what year could it be and what type of breather do i get.

Stant SO-61 oil cap/breather.

Thanks guys, and by the way, I did'nt buy my cover from E-bag. Bought from a guy who sold chrome valve covers at a car show.

Probably the same cruddy Chinese cover, though. See This thread.

The guy I bought this thing from had two slant valve covers. One was chrome and the other was powder coated blue. How can I tell if it is a cruddy chinese imitation?

No baffles = almost certainly cruddy Chinese. Post a picture or two or three.
