[QUOTE="Robmgy, post: 553732, member: 21430"] So I'm having a little trouble configuring my 1969 american import bay window, fuel breather system. It has a charcoal filter bolted up above the battery, but I dont think its actually being used as it only has one pipe connected. I'm struggling to find any information online, regarding the esrly bay fuel breather system. I have the breather pipe from the tank to the filler neck connected up. And I'm guessing the pipe connected to my charcoal filter is a breather pipe, as is it also comes from the filler neck area. Apart from these, I have no other breather pipes fitted! I'm reading online that the oil baths have breather pipe connections, but after examining my oil bath - it doesnt have any breather pipe connections! Just the pipe to the oil filler. Others are also mentioning 't-pieces' in the top of the engine area and a troublesome pipe fitted behind the spare wheel area - I dont have any of these! Is this correct? I'm guessing this could be a difference between early and late bays but obviously, I need to check. On a side note, I'm seeing oil run out of the top of the dipstick after running. Im putting this town to crankcase pressurisation. You all concur with that? Set of Pistons, cylinders and rings in the morning. [/QUOTE]
