Hey Grady, I didn't see anyone else post a response, but if I were you I would
definitely install the baffles. They will prevent excess amounts of engine oil
from getting sucked up by the breather during hard acceleration and having to
have it pass through your intake system. Just my opinion...

Folks-
Bought me a set of those Mopar crinkle-coat valve covers (first pure
dress-up item), and I've got a coupla questions.
1. The stock setup has a coupla breather hoses -- one to the air intake
(driver side) and one to the intake manifold (passenger side). Is there an
opportunity to improve things by changing this? I've seen actual
"breathers" -- in catalogs and mentioned in posts to the DML if I'm not
mistaken Should I just leave the stock setup there? What advantage is
there to the "breathers?
2. Instructions call the oil baffles (little pre-cut, pre-drilled pieces of
sheet) provided with the kit optional. Is it proper to assume that if I
punch out the knockouts and install *either* the stock breather hoses OR
some breather, then I should install the baffles?
Thanks in advance.
