Well, I checked my local auto parts and they don't carry these venting devices. So, I did the next best thing and made my own. I removed the bolt which was holding the brake "Y" onto the rear end. Drilled the center out .250" and drilled the head of the bolt and tapped it to fit a barb fitting. Put that on with some loctite and connected a hose. Haven't driven it yet, but it will definitely breathe now.... Thanks so much everyone. Wouldn't of known about this without your help.
