Sorry you didn't get picked up for staff and you are going to Hawaii. I hated the place, there are all kinds of things you have to do to get your car registered there and with your mods, you will need someone shadey to do it for you. Let me know when you get there and I will get my boys to help you out.

[QUOTE=mph1972]The USS HONOLULU huh? I know a few guys on that boat. There is a guy on the form with a screen name: 2fast4insanity (Adam), he has a 1997 and he is a Nuke on one of the boats. He is a good guy and can help you out when you show up. My buddy has a 2002 ZO6 and can help out as you need. I would love to help you on the 408, but I am not sure if I am going to be able to come over due to other comments. I will see what I can do.
I was just joking about the help i should have plenty. But if you wanna swing by this weekend drop me a pm and we can get that catch can on there.

I purchase a compressor catch can at Lowes. $25 and some brass fittings and fuel line and you are good to go. I mounted mine to the battery housing wall. I thought it was too tight near the head for install. Can I got has a nice glass bowl that unscrews quite easily and is easy to drain.
