The round breather filter is a a common item used on other GM cars as the Olds powered Riviera from early 80s and the Buick Regal Grand National 86-87 VIN7. Yes you want to vent to the aircleaner through the filter so the PCV can draw through the filter and at times of high blow by vent the nasty gases back to the engine to be burned. It's a basic emissions system with no power robing down side. There also a rubber elbow ( might find in HELP parts) and the metal tube (men's mall) and the grommet that holds the filter. The GM version of the filter is about $15 but there are knockoffs out there for $5.

There is also a NAPA part, their number 2993. I bught one today for $6. All of my rubber parts - both grommets and the elbow - are in good shape so I just needed the filter assembly.

Good find!
Bdub, I checked the GMCMI Parts Interchange index and noted that under this
part name the Napa P/N 703-1372 is listed. It comes up in their system as
BK7031372. Could you add FIL2993 in the next revision.
Regards,
Rob M.

thatnsk for all the responces, you guys are great, including private messages with pictures. the support on this site is why i bought my coach, i knew there was enough support to keep it on the road,
i need this breather thing and the elbow. the short pipe is still on breather box.
I sent jim an email to see if he has both, i understand i can get the breather local, but about time i gave a vender money even if it is only $10 or so.
while i am at it i might as well seek pcv valve on other breather which goes to line on carb???
thanks again for all the input

Jim K should have that pcv also, that's the one on the passengers side valve cover. If Jim doesn't have it, (but I m sure he will), just ask for the pcv for the 75 olds toronado 455.
