Hi Jeff,
I also have a DCOE Weber on my 1275 engine in the bugeye. I believe on
my air filter there is a spot for the breather. I also noticed that on
the manifold bottom is a port on the ballence tube between the inlets.
It matches my SU's ports. I was thinking on tring to use this for the
breather tubes.
As to valve cover gaskets, When they start to leak I replace them.
Sometimes this is after a adjustment, sometimes inbetween adjustments.
I do glue the gasket into the cover with removable Permatex.
I do have a question , What did you do about the vaccuum tube to the
Distributer?
