Crankcase breathing

Post by B MAN »

Whats the simplest way to do this with dual carbs?

Breather box needs to be mounted in such a way that all the oil "gravity drains" back to the filler neck which on my car looks something like this

I saw a couple mounted inside the cabin on the other side of the firewall but doesn't seem like that would gravity drain very well

Mount the breather on the firewall above the fan shroud.

I use the same type of fill neck except mine is straight. The breather box is mounted above the shroud and is plumbed to the fitting on the neck. Works well for me. Have a photo showing the breather set up with dual 44's but it's to big and won't load. Ainokea
