Catch can. Ive searched and I couldnt find a thread to explain it. I assume it just filters the oil to get all the clumps and **** out, right? I cant find any info on how to do it to a LT1. I want to do it on my 96. Can someone point me in a good direction. Thanks fellas

look up the mike norris catch can.
What the catch can actually does is help out the pvc. our stock pcv isn't all that great and will eventually put oil back in the intake thru oil vapor. over time it will start to clogg up the intake and cause you to loose a bit of power. Most people put it in because it will help catch the vapor that the pvc system will let go back into the intake. Over 3,000 miles I have about a shot glass full of oil, that otherwise would be in the intake, or burned back in the engine.
