Puke Tank & related hardware
 
Anyone have a good source for a puke (oil-overflow) tank and the related hardware? Also need plumbing info along with dimensions for mounting tank on firewall in the correct location.

I want to eliminate oil deposits from breathers on the valve covers. Better yet, it would be nice to rig a PCV system in with the puke-tank system to maintain originality, but gain the advantage of pulling all the moisture and blowby out of the crankcase. This would require running a line from the tank to the intake manifold so it couldn't be seen.

Kirkham has a Puke Tank, as shown below.

The large tube on the drivers side goes to the rear breather on the intake manifold.
The small tube on the drivers side goes to the toploader vent.
Large tube on the passenger side/bottom goes to the front of the Aviaid oil pan.
Remaining tube on the passenger side goes straight down and acts as a road draft/overflow tube.

Ron,

Thanks for the reply.

The breather tube could have an inline PCV valve fitted into it and routed to intake manifold. The trick is plumbing this into my dual-four tunnel-ram intake. Think I can do it, though. This will retain the originality while scavenging all that nasty stuff from the crankcase.

Thanks,

Contact Gessford. Ask for an old POS Mexican guy named Jorge...he knows a little sumthing about motors. He rigs up pcv valves in the rear manifold fittings as SOP.

Now, don't let them put George on...he don't know nuthing. Make sure it's Jorge.

Sounds good to me, Jamo. I like to deal with someone "that's been there and done that".

Thanks for the information.
