Thats a breather, and you just pull like hell to get it out.
 
just pull and twist its a breather not oil cap
 
Lol it's not coming up pulling up, this is where I add oil right lol. . New to this car I know it's a dumb question
 
Based on the Master cylinder....but man, my 66 didn't have anything like that on it.
That type cap either pulls off or is in a rubber grommet depending on the year of the valve cover.
 
Probably not a good sign if it is stuck that bad, lol. Must have been a long time since the oil was changed?

Mine had a pull off cap from a round metal 'spout'.....and it was fairly easy to pull off. 66 model.
 
That doesn't look right for a 1964 car. Unless maybe a California car has different stuff for emissions. My 64 Fury 361 just has the straight oil cap with the springy tabs that pulls straight up. PCV on the other side.

Huh i guess 64 didnt have a cap on the pcv side. Ive had to use a crow bar to get some of the factory breathers out before, just replace it with a new breather and grommet after. Makes you wonder how long its been since the oil was changed.

Nice. :thumbsup:

The rubber grommet kits available are probably the same for all years between 62-74. :)
