[TR] valve cover venting

[William Pugh]

Had the same problem , we live in Calaveras County, CA there are many 50-60-s hot rod folks here, took my valve cover to a good shop, told them the problem, they cut a hole in the carb side of the cover, installed a nice vent from a Chevy (all aluminum) … end of problem .
