Plug the hole in the valve cover and then run the line from the valley cover to the top port of the AMW catch can, then run from the side of the catch can to the intake behind the throttle body.
The small nipple in the valve cover originally connected to the throttle body, I haven't seen any of the aftermarket throttlebodies but if your has a nipple on it then you can run from the valve cover to the throttle body.

i plugged and ran lines as mentioned, and took for a drive last nite. started sounding like i had a belt squeeling, couln not track it down. tried to take the oil cap off and there was soooo much suction on it it would hardly budge. rockers and top end started getting real noisy, so i assumed that the tope end was starving of oil. yanked the plug off of the pass side valve cover and it quitened down and stopped making the squeeling noice. have no idea what to do , the cure, etc. still have the catch c`an hooked up as described above though, just nothing on the valve cover. any suggs? thanks, joe

What if you plugged the valve cover eliminating the hose going to the throttle body..plugging throttle body also, then you could use a Oil Cap breather filter right? A low profile one. That would still allow for released pressure....Anyone??

I would like to see the pictures and routing of the lines for the catch can.

Buy a small K&N cone type filter. Put the hose back on the valve cover, install the filter onto the hose. The hose may need to be trimmed to "look" right.
