I checked under the hood of my '67BGT, since it is the same year as her
roadster, and found the overflow pipes as Will describes them. I don't
have a breather as '67 required a PCV valve. The bracket the pipes
connect to seems to dissappear under the engine side of the motor
mount. Right now the rear end is up on jackstands for brake work, so I
couldn't get my head under the front to look better.

P.S.  I told my wife that I felt bad because I made Denise cry when I
poked a little fun at her. She suggested I e-mail her a picture of
flowers. I told her I thought of that but wondered if it was
appropriate since I wouldn't send Will flowers if I hurt his feelings
(sorry Will). She agreed that I better not because she did not want
Denise to think that "some stud was after her". Now I am trying to
figure out if my wife was implying that I am not a stud.
