Purpose is to catch the oil of course!

Now, I know you next question is going to be, why are you catching oil. Well oil will pool in the plenum and get sucked down into the runners. Too much oil and you get detonation issues.

I was doing it to reduce emissions, and save the environment.

I will post some pics, I need to mount it and shorten the lines. I ran the line from the back of the plenum, over to the booster, down the inner fender, and into the front bumper area. Then back up the same way, the filter is black so it blends in....nothing too spectacular, any idiot could do it....this one did.

i was under the impression F.I. and large stroke applications typically generate more cranckase pressure to use these...Learn something new every day.

LGAFF, nice of you to save the environment like that. Make sure and drain your oil down the toilet next time to save water.

Locobob has had one for a couple of years now. Nobody has ever expressed interest.
