I used silicone sparingly on mine to hold the gasket in place until I got the bolts started.
Nice picture of your blue valve cover, and blue pushrod cover.
I noticed one little thing... What do you use to filter the air going into the oil cap? Does it have a filter inside? I was surprised how dirty these filters can get.

I have a different air breather I am going to use that has an inlet to connect a line from the oil filler cover. The previous owner had the truck set up with the PCV in the oil fill cap and a plug for the rear inlet. They way I read it, they are supposed to circulate.
The drawings I have say rear inlet has pcv with that line going to the intake manifold. The front simply is a free flow connected to the air breather.
Of course I am trying to use a 1966 air breather as I can't find an appropriate one for my year.

Thats all the emission control there was for years.
Not being critical... just concerned. I love these old engines.
If I am not mistaken, the tube that exhausted engine fumes down to the air stream below the car came out of the pushrod cover. Movement of the car supposedly helped to pull the air through. We had a 1960 Falcon.

this truck was apparently equipped with a couple of other emissions controls.
There was a line running from the fuel tank area to what used to be canister on the passenger side, lower front engine area.
I believe this truck had a smog pump on it as well. There was a vacuum "distributor" on it that I believe was associated with the use of the smog pump. I have since removed it.
