I just got my new breather box in from Carey. I've talked to him about what I want to do with it, and I'd like a few opinions.
It's a decent-sized stainless box, about big enough for a quart and a half of oil, rectangular in shape and the size of a hardcover novel. It has six ports and six A/N fittings.
I want two braided lines in from the valve covers and two out to the oil-filler neck. The remaining two holes are vent holes, and Carey suggests that they could lead to the tops of the air cleaners to draw vacuum.
I've also seen them just filtered, like the old hot-rod V-8s used to have. If I did that, the box would have two of the filters this 427 (photo) has in its driver's side valve cover -- but I don't have any experience with lines from the box to the air cleaners and would be afraid oil might get back that way and ooze into them.
Thoughts?
