Default Will this breather fit?

Hey guys, does anyone know if this breather will just push right down into my stock filler neck?

If not, which ones are some of you using? I'd like to find one with the 5.0 or Ford or something on it. Thanks!

If you have the PCV system working......you don't want an open breather installed...it will cause a case of unmetered air = vacuum leak ......just a thought.

arent all breathers the same diameter as far the fitment goes? every breather i have every used fit no problems. if it was an unusual size i would think they would provide a rubber grommit that would work with it

No it wont fit. That is a push in breather and it wont fit in the stock oil filler tube. If you want to run that, you need a valve cover with a standard grommet, which I believe it's going to be a 1.22" inside diameter, 1.25" outside diameter... but don't quote me on that.

But I have to ask... why are you trying to run an open breather on an EFI engine with a working PCV system?
