Thanks for the input guys! it was a toss up between C and A for me. Next question, should i have one on both sides or just one? ---

C for the driver side. That’s where is is on most valve covers. The passenger side would be towards the back of the block. I take it your not running a pcv or evac set up. I would run one or the other, don’t just run breathers on both sides. I do like those valve covers. What make are they? ---
