    I'll try to have it on my website within the next week Chris.

    That is pretty neat! How would this set up look/work on a single barrel TB?

    Catch can ---> Intake Manifold (Passenger Side)
    Breather ---> Intake (Driver's Side)

    ...same as stock? Replacing my valve cover gaskets shortly and will be throwing on the Mopar valve covers.

    Yes, it will work with any throttle body. I would set it up as a closed system similar to my set-up in post #1. You can also install a catch can if you want. The catch can shows you what has been trapped but not what has made it past into the intake manifold. You also have to keep up with draining it, otherwise, it might as well not be there. However, if you did combine the PCV baffled canister and catch can, you would have a pretty thorough system.

    Do you have any info on the intake setup on your truck? that looks very trick. Is that a custom one off manifold?

    In the vid you see I am running two open breathers which eventually led to the PCV baffled vacuum canister with a closed system although it can be used with an open system as well. The problem with running open breathers is I had oil leaks at the grommets and valve cover gaskets, oil vapor coming out of the breather, some of which puddled on top of the valve cover, and it smelled like oil vapor in the cab. I even fabricated baffled stems for each breather but the oil vapor went right past that type of baffle and out the breather element.


    I bent some thin wall 1/2" tube, cut a few slits in it, and welded in sheet metal for a baffle.


    I fitted the tube up into the breather and welded it.


    You can see that the extended breather stems position the breathers horizontally instead of angled with the valve cover.





    You can see where the oil was accumulating in the breather which I hoped had been resolved with this modification but it wasn't. In essance it was a failure.

    I also researched and experimented with pcv valves that operate better at a lower vacuum signal. This is the result of that: http://www.dakotart.com/forum/showth...-Vacuum-Signal
