Quick Advice, pulverized Oil Filter Cap (?)

Hey Y'all...and a little mis-hap this weekend with this cap that sits on top of my 1985 I-6 valve cover.
I wasn't paying attention while I was trying to get it started with starter fluid...and my cousin had let this slip down to the fan blades and they pulverized this poor little thing.
I figure it's probably not a good idea to run the truck without it...

Total newbie question...what the hell is this actually called and does anybody have an idea where I can get a replacement?
Oil filter cap?

Thanks in advance...



this came flying out

It is not a oil filler cap, that is the cap with the yellow sticker. What you are looking for is the crankcase breather. Here's a link for a universal one, not sure if it will fit. I also read that you can still get it from Ford.

You might be able to get one of those generic crankcase breathers at the auto parts store. They usually have a section of aftermarket parts available.

Would something like these work?
Maybe not these EXACT parts, but something similar?

Probably, but for less than 7 bucks I don't see why not get the right part...
