Hi all, l fitted the Edelbrock four barrel carb & performance manifold conversion this year, big difference, love it !
Anyway l currently have each valve cover breather/ flame trap goining into a T-piece & fitted to a take off under & into the pancake air filter housing along with the rear outlet on the rear of the block, so with the enhanced induction from the bigger carb l now get a thin build up of oil top/bottom of the air filter element.
So oil catch can set up, l see various set ups, do l fit the can & simply connect both breather tubes from each valve cover to it or l see most catch cans have an inlet/outlet take off, so do l keep both pipes as a 2-1 T-piece & route into the inlet & route the other breather pipe from the outlet into the vacum port at the rear off the base of the carb which is currently blanked off ? Some guidance & pics most welcome, many thanks indeed
