No laughing, but I went with the PVC homemade job for now. I want to see how much oil it will spew into it, then make a nicer aluminum one this winter.

Hey bud I have a Greddy that you can have, its a good can, but the amw is better, " with the stainless mesh in the top it works better with vapor" . This way you can still get the amw in November, and have one now. I took it off to put on the amw. I just need shipping, after you get it. You will still need some 3/8 lines, its cheap at Menards or home depot. They have the same clear **** that came with it, that is fiber reinforced. Dan

All Star Performance is the one im using........ it was like $70 shipped or so from them.

It has holes for 3/8npt male fittings. I used 3/8npt to -10an fittings and ran braided line from my valve covers......

Ill have finished pics after this weekend....

Thats the Radiator hose....... its -20 AN. Aeroquip if i remeber correctly off the top of my head.....
a little spendy but so worht the over all look and flow of things.
Its about $20-25 a ft. and the fittings run anywhere from $45-75 apiece.... and ya need 4 fittings and about 3-4 ft of hose.

when we were installing my boss' 408 he decided to make one out of some extra aluminum shrouds we had laying around.

working in a cnc center comes in handy sometimes.
