Thanks BIG time guys....now I am going to play the devils advocate only because my buddy swears this is a GM part....maybe an over the counter part?
Whatever you decide is what I am going to hang my hat on, but he has some valid questions.
1. If you take the original GM breather and look at the style of crimping (the vertical lines) at the end of the snorkel next to the round body of the cleaner, it appears to be very similar to mine.
2. If you take the the original GM breather and look at the rolled up end of the snorkel, it is not a nice, crisp perfect lip as compared to the re-pop one which is too perfect. Then look at mine and it also appears to be less than a perfect rolled end.
3. If you take the the original GM breather and look at the snorkel where it is spot welded against the round body of the cleaner (next to the vertical lines), the two seams are not lined up perfectly, as they appear to be somewhat off set or spot welded poorly. My breather appears to be poorly lined up as well. Yet when you look at the re-pop, the butting of this seam appears to be almost perfect which seems to happen a lot on re-pop parts. Some times they are "improved" too much.
I am not trying to sell anybody on my OJ Simpson theory, but could my breather be an over the counter part or did I just end up with a re-pop part that my buddy will have to come good for?
Thanks again guys!!!
