I have a question that I hope will be easy to answer....I am looking for a valve cover with the oil filler cap in the front. This is going on a 1974 Pinto 2.3 engine. What years will fit the '74 engine and will the Ranger 2.3 fit?
Here ya go..

Turbo cover..... seals better too. Check Ebay
The ranger one from late 80s to early 90s black one works good.
I am looking for a '74 style breather cap that will fit the screw-in hole of a '95 ranger valve cover. Is there such a cap available? (Remember, these have different types of threaded holes) . The ranger valve cover has the cap in the front which I need, but the ranger uses a "latching type" non breather oil fill cap. Goal is to use the Ranger valve cover, install a breather style cap, and weld up the breather pipe flush with the cover to clean it up. Any valve cover experts out there?
I think I found my solution...an '85 mustang 2.3 valve cover. It appears to have the breather cap in front..not a screw on cap and it appears to be smooth without a recess in the middle for air intake hose.
