people want way too much for 4273322's.

i'm guessing Wix 42997 is fine? not looking for anything special just replacing mine which looks like it came with the car from stock.

I feel like when I bought my last couple box store replacements the diameter of the grommet was too small; or maybe the diameter of the breather was too small, I can’t remember which but it had a horrible fit on the valve cover. Think it was the grommet and I ended up reusing the old grommet that was on the car. Almost certain now that I wrote it out.

I think that will one is like what I'm using. Whatever says fits on the parts websites. They are or used to be right on the shelf at parts stores.

Probably the grommet, I had this same issue, ended up having to glue the remains together, worked better the replacement, ended up having the valve covers gaskets replaced and the garage bent the valve covers so badly I had to replace them with a set of '70s Cordoba ones, I haven't touched the grommet and won't be!
