Ford Crossflow cathch tank/Breather
Discussion
Just got to finish my new lay out tomorrow ie pipes into the catch tank.So first pic Crank case breather under the carb...
into a tee with a pipe from rocker breather into that tee as well...
those connected together will have one pipe up to my catch tank, eventually in ally but for the time being it is a washer bottle behind battery.....
hopefully that will stop the torrie canyon under the engine and on the girlfriends driveway

Hi Andrew
Not sure if this is needed now but I did the plumbing for my vent system on my vixen today,Ok garden hose and a washer bottle are not glam but for six pence I wanted to see it worked before I bought ali tank and hose etc. Well it has worked a treat no problems fitting took an hour and no more leaks from pressurisation, hope this helps.....

Late to the party I know but love how you've coordinated the hosepipe to the body colour Not sure if this is needed now but I did the plumbing for my vent system on my vixen today,Ok garden hose and a washer bottle are not glam but for six pence I wanted to see it worked before I bought ali tank and hose etc. Well it has worked a treat no problems fitting took an hour and no more leaks from pressurisation, hope this helps.....

Sorry to hijack, slightly...
My rocker cover has a welded in breather (outlet?) which looks like it used to reach to the PCV, but now just vents to air, and also a filler cap which seems to breathe i.e. oil flicks out a little breather hole under pressure.
I'll be fitting a rudemantay catch tank (beer can) for the welded breather as oil to the engine block is pretty smelly, but would it also be worth fitting a non-breather oil filler cap too, or should I fit a breather cap and again venting to catch tank?
PCV valve seems to pipe to a manifold below the air filter.
Thanks,
J

The more breathers the better on a crossflow so yes to the breather type cap linked to your beer can tank, are you running twin side-draught carbs or a single twin-choke? It sounds like the latter as the standard set-up the pcv valve does connect into the inlet manifold, it upsets the carb balancing if you try connecting this hose on a twin side- draught manifold.
