I have a PCV one my passenger side and driver side is just oil filler cap.

Should I run a breather on the driver side in conjuction with the PCV valve?  I heard it helps the car 'breathe' of some sort air goes in one valve side (breather side) and expels out the other side (PCV)?

You need a breather when running a PCV valve. It also needs to be on the opposite valvecover.  :yesnod:

dont think its a fck up per say...I just remember some old timer telling me one on each side to breathe IN then OUT....dont know how true that is, but hey if ron saids so...well I can give it a try.

The PCV valve sucks air & vapors out of the engine & crank case...you have to have a way to get air back into the engine from the PCV from sucking it out. Hence the breather or oil fill cap with a way to let air back in
