No body? I need to know which lines go in and go out thats it

Remove the short little line from the valley cover to the port behind the TB into the intake.
The valley port if you will,is the "out" and the port on the intake is the "in". This is all on the left side.

Might not be specific to your catch can but this should help

Your can should have one port for condensation of oil mist with some type of condensation chamber-connect it to the OUT of the PCV line on the passenger side of the engine.
The return port of your can goes to the 'intake' port of your engine under your throttle body.
It is a lot easier to access the port if you remove the throttle body which is a simple 4 bolt procedure.

I pulled the passenger valve cover fresh air line it went to the intake prior to the throttle body this is my dirty feed to can now, I put the above intake line to the engine valley (restricted) port for fresh air into block, and my catch can out which goes thru a one way valve goes into the top side of the factory little loop ( it has a extension into the intake manifold which pulls thru vacuum via venturi action)

Can I ask what's the benefit of doing it this way vs the method I posted a link above?

Alright I want to thank everyone with comments but my car is a l99 and doesnt have the valley port ! So my best guess on how to hook this up is remove the hose going to the manifold behind throttlebody goes to the "in" on my catch can . Then go from the "out " on the catch can back to the manifold. Can anyone varify this?

Bretts · 03-18-2015, 03:30 AM

yes David Childress instructed me to do it this way , larger openings than the overly restrictive valley port per mighty mouse solutions company

Unreal · 03-18-2015, 08:38 AM

Mighty Mouse is a company that makes the best catchcans available, and Dave is the owner and builder of some wicked LS cars. He had a very nice streetable 7 second car, and now is building a sick corvette.

I've ran all the cans, and MM is by far the best.
