Default Catch can Question

http://www.tuningdepot.com/ebay/imag...atch-3red2.jpg

why is there three connections on here when you only need 2? will this work for a camaro? I would assume that the 2 equal size tis would be the ones to use, and just cap off the large one?

That design is kinda wierd. You always want the nipples to be the highest point on the can, because once that can starts filling up, you don't want to start sucking liquid back in the engine....

I'm not sure what I would suggest with that one..

I use a greddy catch can and it works great.

Best price I found was here:

http://www.greddy.com/products/produ...productidx=136

I'm going to buy one within 2 months; I've got the vertical PCV mod right now but still sucking oil in with a TR224-112 cam and heads. I plan on connecting after the PCV to the can, then to the intake manifold.

I've been researching for 2 days; does AFTER the PCV valve make the most sense?

Thanks, some people did the PCV valve after the catch can before going to the intake. I'm also going to look into a T valve to bring in the driver side valve cover , after the PCV valve, before the the catch can. Did you tie in the driver side?

I simply wedged it in the spot you see it in. I wrapped the bottom in a piece of rubber (I cut a large diameter rubber hose in half, kinda like a fernco bellow piece), so it would not rattle or move around at all.

No, I meant tieing in the valve cover itself, not the physical location. FWIW, I do like where you have yours on the pictures.

No, mine is coming from the valley only (LS6 PCV). However I have my air pump acting as a small electric vacuum pump at WOT which pulls from the driver's side, but that's a whole other story

Sounds interesting - I no longer have AIR but still have the components. What is the mod? If this is thread drift, PM me if possible.
