FE Technical Forum / Re: crank case evacuation idea's with baldy valve covers

I'm using a Volvo "fixed orifice" crankcase vent system on my Thunderbird.
It consists of a plastic nipple that goes to the air cleaner along with a small hose that goes to manifold vacuum. The plastic nipple happens to fit into a standard valve cover grommet. That's all there is to it. The car currently has a Streetmaster intake so I drilled a hole in the back to fit the grommet.
Just pop the nipple out of the grommet for the oil fill.
Works great, it's been on the car for over 10 years now. Even had it when I had the M/T Power Ram intake on it.
I even have this type breather on my Corvair powered Manx buggy. It now leaks less than ever!
