He could try drilling the side of the cover near the top, or find a vented lid that will go in the existing hole OR install his vent pipe in the fill lid...that’s the easiest to do and to undo.That’s where my Rocker cover breather vent is located...in the cap.

Hi Gang, 

We have a new member! From way up in northern California - a lot closer to Oregon than San Francisco, we have Michael Mitchell, proud owner of a '58 ZB.  Such a Magnette freak - he has retired the letter "S" from his computer keyboard, replacing it with the more important letter "Z".  I hope you will all join me in welcoming a true Magnette enthusiast: Michael Mitchell.  

Michael and I met on MGE where he asked me about venting the crankcase with the aftermarket aluminum valve cover.  I told him that I have been using a vented oil filler cap, along with the usual vent from the front tappet cover to the bottom of the sump - only since I'm using the Basil Adams tappet cover (which I LOVE!), I had to drill/tap that for a crankcase vent.  At any rate, Michael needs two things: a correct original ZB air cleaner; and some advice as how best to rig his venting (since he has the aluminum valve cover).  Drilling the aluminum cover to plumb to the air cleaner is a little bit easier said than done as it involves drilling down through the cast aluminum ribs with a Forstner type bit first to get a nice seal from the hose fitting to the cover.  Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Cheers, gang!

Allen
