Hah!

Yes 9'. It was absurd. I'll upload a picture later. Again it was just to test and troubleshoot.

Thinking about adding a second catch can tonight and running both valve covers to vacuum. I'm sick of dealing with small drips from pressurizing the crank or filling a catch can super fast with one to vac and one to fresh air.

Any reason I should proceed with caution?

Yes and no... I drip oil every now and then without vacuum on it.

I agree, run a big line (-10 or bigger) from each cover to its own tank. Problem solved......if not you have engine trouble.

I am having trouble figuring out exactly where I could mount it. I think I may try on the brake booster but its all a very tight fit on that side. We will see tonight I guess.

Does anyone have any creative ideas? I already have one on my pass side head.
