| * For 1979 - 1985, the one-way, external, foo-foo valve and the six-inch metal vent tube at the front of the timing cover were done away with. Instead, a one-way valve was built-in inside the timing cover. A rubber breather hose then ran from the generator drive area of the timing cover, at the 9 o’clock position, to the stock carb air filter so that any oil mist was fed back through the engine, making the EPA pollutocrats more happier than they were with the idea of engine oil spraying out into the atmosphere.
