    They are 3/8 npt fittings....I just finished installing, took 20 minutes and the install is clean......Pics to come later.

    Wagon, When I get some free time, I'm gonna switch to AN fittings and the black "Pro-lite" nylon braided hose to make it even cleaner.

    Thanks, i said braided, i meant earls pro lite 350. Might even weld an AN male fitting on the inlet plate tube, and drill and tap intake. Haven't looked to see if thats feasible yet. Hopefully have it and other stuff to work on this weekend.

    Not feasible.
    Do it with AN tube adapters.

    The steel PCV tube coming out the front of the valley plate (LS3,LS2,L76 hardware AFM deleted) is 3/8" OD with an expanded barb right on the tip.
    The steel tube (for fresh air supply) going into the passenger side valve cover is the same.
    Trim the barb off with a tube cutter then slip an AN tube adapter on and tighten it up.

    Part No in red is 316 stainless steel from Swagelok.
    3/8 OD tube to -6 AN
    Russell and Earls etc sell similar in pretty colours.


    On the side of the intake manifold the plastic tube coming out is 10mm OD.
    Again you can do it with tube adapters but due to the metric tube you'll need two fittings to get back to AN. The two fittings go into each other so it still looks quite neat when assembled.

    Part Nos are 316 stainless steel from Swagelok.

    Just need a flat-head screwdriver, somethin to cut the hose with, and a ratchet w/ a
    10mm deep socket. All this and you're good to go.

    Sorry for the newbie question, but why do we need one? Is this something important to get and what makes some need it and others dont? or should all of us get the oil catch can? benefits? negatives on not getting one?
