front diff cover vent

Postby torogt » Sat Aug 10, 2013 9:20 am

I was just looking at my spare tranmissions the covers on the diff. have a breather tube on them but the one out of my 70 does not. my 70 is a OM code for the gt the others are OJ code 69 70 and 72. should i use the one without the vent or take one off the spares with the vent?

Years Owned: My first Toronado was a 1968 W-34 with the bucket seats and center console... (weeps gently) It was a New England rustbucket in 1982 after less than 14 years. So sad. But it is what infected me and before I knew it I had another '68, a '69, a '70 and eventually inherited a friend's '67 and another friends '73. After buying my brand new Grand Prix in 1988 I retired the last of my Toronados and pulled the 455 I had rebuilt along the way and put it into storage in a friend's barn where it is to this day.
In Mid September of 2010 I happened to see a repeat of the show where Jay Leno did his 66 Toronado and had an instant remission of the disease which resulted in my purchase of a 1969 in very good condition. I am now in the process of fully rehabilitating it and hope to have it on the road in the spring of 2011.

I have the same situation and am presently using the unvented one until I can get one of these:
