Gates Engine Crankcase Breather Cap P/N:31064
Gates 31061 oil & lubrication components for the 1964-1967 Ford Mustang and other vehicles is an engine oil breather cap that closes the oil filler opening and keeps crankcase gases from escaping into the atmosphere.
A cap that is rusted, damaged or no longer seals can show up as oil residue around the filler opening. A clogged PCV valve is another common source of the same residue, so rule that out before blaming the cap.
Along with the 1964-1967 Ford Mustang, it fits the 1958-1967 Chevrolet Impala and the 1966-1967 Dodge Charger. If your car is something else from this era, look up your year and engine on the Buyer's Guide tab.
