Can you provide the complete hose connections and let me know what the function of this breather can is? I just sealed mine off - probably not a good idea.

Can you provide the complete hose connections and let me know what the function of this breather can is? I just sealed mine off - probably not a good idea. The breather can allows blow-by gasses to escape without pressurizing the crankcase and causing seal leaks. The factory sucked these gasses through the intake to get rid of them. Most guys who run carbs prefer to vent them to atmosphere instead of plumbing them into the air cleaners. My cannister design helps to separate the oil mist from the fumes so the vented gasses don't coat the engine bay with oil film. The three tangential inlets on the can take hoses from the two ports on the cylinder heads and from the pcv valve. (The pcv should be gutted for this application.) The fitting on the bottom of the can gets a short hose to the side of the breather tower where a fitting gets added. This hose drains back any oil accumulation so the breather can never needs to be drained manually. My complete kit includes the cannister, mounting bolts, a K&N vent filter, 6ft of 1/2" hose, 6 hose clamps, flare fitting (with jam nut) for the breather tower, 90 degree flare fitting for the can bottom, 1ft of 1/4" hose, two push-on hose to flare adapter fittings.
