Hi I have a 1967 c 50. 327 motor. Now when I take off the oil filler cap,the rpm goes up. Then replace the oil filler cap,the rpm drops why? Now there is no vent on valve covers.

does this make sense................basically your creating a vacuum leak thru the intake that vents the crankcase and oil tank

Is there a PCV valve installed? If so, you need a vented oil fill cap or a set of valve covers with a grommet for a vent pipe connected to the "clean" side of the air filter. Without a vent, the PCV cannot work properly.
