I guess the question is-did you ever have the cap off before, and did it do the same? If you hadn't, how did you know if it had any oil?

If you had, and it didnt, what have you had apart?

Hi, Peter, thanks for those photos. I checked breather hose on my 82SC, air flow restrictor is missing. It is a new hose (recent restomod), so I suspect this was left out. I'll get one and see if that fixes the stall-when-oil-tube-cap-removed issue.

I'll give you a 99% chance that it'll fix the problem!

I had the opposite problem: when I removed the oil filler cap, the engine idle didn't change one bit. Three hoses were replaced and now it drops slightly just like it should...no more vacuum leak.

Check the OBVIOUSLY SIMPLE first,..verify that restrictor is place,..then go from there.

Still haven't found time to check the hose... my battery decided to drop a cell so it wasn't holding a charge, so getting the new battery took priority over the hose. Should be able to get all this sorted out tomorrow!

Hmmm... looks like I have that other odd looking fitting. Its all intact, I can't see any cracks... could this little valve have gone bad?

Ds1

Also, I saw this fitting that seemingly has no hose at all... any ideas?

Added the flow restrictor to the breather hose, solved the problem with the car stalling when oil fill/dipstick cap removed. Thanks for the tip, Peter!

Good to hear you found your problem Hydro! Any ideas for my situation, anyone?

Ohhh great...

O.k., I have same issue and my rubber piece is also cracked in multiple places. Pelican doesn't have the rubber piece in stock anymore. Any ideas where to source this? It's called a reduction pipe and # is 930-207-243-01

See diagram attached.

Thanks.

i imagine you could find some substitute if you had the ID and maybe OD of the two ends
