    Wish I could take credit for them but Fan2488 made them for Rick Books car, I still have to make a Monte Carlo bar to hook the front ones up

    Those are for the crankcase evacuation system, they go down to a tube that is welded in the header collector at a angle and have a one way valve on them, exhaust pulls the excess pressure from engine out, suppose to be good for some extra horsepower. I will be getting some braided hose covers and standoff brackets to make them a little prettier.

    Also going to get some more spark plug wire material, the wire set I got was for a 94 on 302 so the box says and a couple of the wires are realy tight and ugly, unfortunately I cant just run down to Summit like other people I know :)

    :hmmm:...with 2 pulling out, where does it breath in?

    most setups are...1 PCV pulls out and the other breather/oil filler breaths in.:huh:

    Looks Great! whats the HP on that? Double-sump oilpan or flat bottom?
    frank,
    Evac. sys. puts a vacuum in engine, seals rings better, less blowby.. Good for race engines, not sure if you wanna run on a street car. summit sells kits for headers, think moroso is 1, website has good info of how this works

    OK...so this system doesn't remove anything from the crankcase...(no fresh air intake.)

    you are right, i wouldn't want this on a street motor...
