Go to Summit........about 10 dollars or so.

The breather needs to probably be on the passenger even though I have seen it put on either side and sometimes both sides.

You can get chrome oil caps at Auto Zone or Discount Auto. And I don't think it matters which side you put the breather/PCV valve on.

centerbolt valve covers have a rare hole size so none of the ones in auto zone fit for some reason

breather

I found that if you get an extra pvc grommet Autozone selles the little filters in the dress up asile they are for the imporst but it is a perfect fit and it is also chrome with either red, blue, yellow, or black inset colors on the filters runs about 7 for the whole setup

peace

Isn't it 1.25" ? Mine were. Maybe you got some weird covers.
