There is a valve and a spring inside. The valve has a hole in it. Sucking on either end you are sucking air through the hole. Manifold vacuum should open the valve. Take it apart and clean it. Somewhere in the mid '50s they were changed from an oil bath breather to a paper filter one. That may be the smaller/bigger you noticed. The one on my Suburban is the paper filter one from a '59. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 137 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 137 | hi cletis i believe the truck i seen at the reunion /was yours ? the top of the tube was bigger than the one i got& used ? anyway i will try to disassemble the pvc valve ,like i said i could blow thru it both ways /made me think it was stuck open ? thanks mike | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 1,915 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 1,915 | It never closes.
Applying vacuum to the engine side reduces the opening size. | | |
