Oil Breather Cap
I didn't want to hijack OzarksFord's thread about the oil breather tube so I'll ask this in a new thread.
Does anyone know where to get a oil breather cap with integral filter? I'd like to get rid of the tube altogether. I'd prefer painted to chrome, but am open to suggestions.

K&N makes replacement breather caps with filters. Keep the PCV valve and tubing tho. It is very important for keeping crap out of the oil and keeping the engine clean. Replace the PCV valve annually.
Engines with EFI or electronic engine controls have to keep the breather tube from the valve cover to the air intake or it will throw off the engine controls.
