Default How did you hook up your catch can? Pics?

I got a catch can from Justin Sutton a while back but haven't gotten a chance to put it in until now. I want to mount it to the head where the EGR used to be. Where did you hook your lines in to the PCV system. Pics would really help. Thanks.

I don't have a digital camera, but I'll try to explain where mine is.

I mounted mine to the silver A/C canister (on the left side of the picture in dope's post). I used some wire and a pretty stiff spring to fashion a mount that is easily removable for emptying. It is held in place well like this and never moves. I don't have an EGR, so it was not in my way.

Also, I recommend putting the PCV valve between the intake and the catch can, not the way Dope has his. It seems to work much better that way. I'm not sure exactly why, but it does. I also put mine so it is the highest part of the system - higher than the lines from the valve cover. It catches more oil that way. All of this was trial and error to find the best spot. Mine works great now and I can't believe the amount of water, oil, and crap that it catches!

I had a oil catch tank made for my non-f-body car, I used APC colored silicone hose with a hose mendor I bought from TSC. The hose mendor is used because the hose from the PCV is smaller then the APC hose that connects to the oil tank. I could post a picture but I don't know how much help it would be. It really doesn't matter what hose connects to which fitting on the tank, good luck.
