That cap was used on ’65 Chrysler products destined for sale or use in CA. My ’65 Barracuda is a CA car and has that (a chrome version) and the hose goes into the special CA air cleaner with a mating nipple on the upper part of the air cleaner, the cap is on the left bank. On the right bank there is a PVC valve that connects via hose to the base of the carb. Mine is a high performance 273, but the same arrangement was used across the board for CA cars, including slant sixes and large blocks. Non CA cars had the PVC valve, but the valve cover cap on the left bank was conventional, a breather, and no hose to the air cleaner. The chrome version is available from eBay vendors, I just bought one. If you search your ’65 service manual you will find information about it with drawings and service procedures.

You folks call it a PCV, but I still believe I have Breather element. I hope this picture comes through. There is no valve that rattles in this thing, it is an element filled with a fibrous material.

I have wondered about this. The '57 was supposed to have some kind of Clean-Air package on it in California. My '57 was delivered in California and no evidence of crankcase venting or carburator venting was ever mentioned or found. I beleive by '65 PCV's were installed ia all cars. Was your device ever connected to a PCV valve? I had a relative who had a patent on PCV valve that made him wealthy!

Hey folks,
My 1965 Chrysler 300 originates from South San Fransisco, CA. As a result, it has a connecting hose from the air cleaner to the valve cover breather element, and the element has a nub to attach. I cannot find this breather with the nub marketed. While I have soaked the breather element in cleaner, I am concerned about how well it is working. Any ideas or known manufacturers for this element?
