catch can installed!

Installed a catch can for the PCV system today. Costed something like 45~50 bucks total for everything.. so hopefully there'll be no more oil going into the intake anymore!

But here's the really exciting part... My Pro-5.0 shifter came in the mail today (only two days total - thanks Latemodel Restoration Supply!) and I've got 4 quarts of GM Syncromesh as well sitting in the garage right now, so that'll be tomorrow's project. I can't wait!

whats sad is that is illegal in CA. those things help the car out a lot yet we cant do them because its modifying the PCV system.

where did you get that from?

It looks like an industrial type unit you'd see on lines for an air-compressor.

It is. I was looking for a mini-sized one at the Home Depot but couldn't find any. The larger one was around twenty bucks. It fits tightly in between these two radiator hoses (I think - they get really hot) in the back there. I also bought a shut-off valve too because it looks kinda cool IMO. Best thing about the setup is that it all easily comes out as just one piece, just like how I installed it.

It's an Amflo model from Home Depot. Here's the write-up which inspired me... http://www.omslaw.net/tech/catchcanmod.htm
