Picked up a Oil catch can @ Home Depot

Its a husky, looks like they changed design apart from the earlier catch can HOW-TO threads. I saw one at Lowes but the nipple on the bottom was brass and looked weird. It was barbed and let air out unless that nipple was pulled down. I didnt buy it because i thought it would be leaking everywhere unless i found a way to keep the barb nipple pulled down all the time. (pulling it down seemed to close the air flow)





check out this nice warning label... hope it lasts.

Im going to buy a 90* degree fitting for the other side. Making a mount out of aluminum sheet and i want to use as little tubing as possible. the straight side will be for the PCV valve and the elbow fitting will be for the top vacuum nipple on the Upper Manifold. Maybe i should get 2 elbow fittings..hmmm well see. If they didn't cost 5$ each i'd would be easy. lol


filter is 12$ and the straight fitting, which i found in the same area of Home depot as the filter, was like 2.50.
