Oops, I just re-read Max's post, and I see that he has a Megasquirt 
system, not carbs. If this is on the original '68 engine, with one 
plastic cap on the breather box, then this is not a problem. But if 
his '68 car now has a later engine, with 2 plastic caps on the 
breather box, this is something that should be fixed.
