Default Mounting of AMW catch can...

Hey guys,

I know of many of you mounting your AMW catch can to the cylinder head via DARK AGE 53's bracket, but I'd prefer mounting it to the car. Have any of you done this?

Thanks,
Chris

Very few have mounted the AMW catch can to the head, if you do a search you will find most have mounted the catch can on the rad support or on the passenger side wheel well housing. The AMW catch can will perform just about anywhere you would like to mount it, find a spot and mount it there ( and if you need to make up a bracket just do it ).

On another note, I think AMW should have a contest ( winner gets a free catch can ) for who can come up with a better name then " oil catch can ", would you call the White House just another house? The AMW ( new name here ) is a peice of art, so let's see a name change.JMO

I used Al's (Dark Age 53) bracket to mount my on the cylinder head. Works perfectly and you couldn't deal with a better guy.

Al,

I've tried searching a few times, but came up short. I'm probably not searching with the right words. I'll try again, but if you or anyone else knows of any threads about locating the catch can on the car, and might be able to post some links, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Chris
