The cap is too....

More Information for GATES 31072

Round, silver finish, instead of "hexed" black cap, but looks like it would fit everything correctly.




That's your best bet, for now.

That cap says its a push fit.. Mine is a screw fit...
Although that looks like the OP's cap in one of his pics..

Not sure why it says push fit. Look at the pic of the bottom. Isn't that a quarter-turn cap like the oe one?

When you say yours is a screw fit, do you mean a quarter-turn screw fit or a multiple-turn screw-in type cap?

This " breather " goes in your air filter.

There are 3 parts to this next piece, the plastic elbow, the rubber grommet, and the metal screw in cap. the elbow and rubber grommet are available aftermarket.

So does this elbow piece go into the passenger side valve cover (oil fill) and then a hose goes from there to crankcase? Is that why my oil fill cap has a hole on the side but nothing closing it up?

No hose to any crankcase.... The hose goes from the foam filter in your air cleaner housing to the oil fill cap on the back passenger side....
Look at my pics in post #10

Oh ok, I thought that was known as the crankcase filter.
Thank you! I am definitely missing those components and car is running a little sluggish lately.
