Yes!

Another jewel added to the crown! Nice work John! I also had Scott restore my Idle solenoid when he was restoring my Holleys for the Superbird!
wingless now, but still around.

Dave,
 Thanks for the kind comments on the Superbird!
I know when you were restoring yours you were trying for that same level of results!
Sad that you no longer have it but glad your still active here.

               SUPERBIRD PASSENGER SIDE VALVE COVER OIL BREATHER GROMMETS
Recently I found a couple of NOS drivers side valve cover PCV valve grommets for my Superbird.
When I checked my stash I did not find any for the passengers side valve cover oil breather?
After doing some checking I found out that there are at least 3 versions out there!
The first version is the factory assembly line grommets that came on our Superbirds when they where built.
These have a 2946 079 part number with a space between the 6 and 0.
They also have a vendor code of 58418 with no Pentastar!
I see these on unrestored original Superbirds and those with high level restorations.
My first 2 pictures show these grommets.
The next grommet came along in the 1970's and are showing up on a lot of the restored Superbirds.
These have a 2946079 part number with no space.
The also have a vendor code of 99201 and have a Pentastar molded in!
I show these in my third and fourth pictures.
The last version which is available now has the same 2946079 part number.
But the top side of the grommet is smooth and the part number is on the underside where you can't see it!
I show this in my last picture.
