I can take pics tonight. I mounted it against the inside of the battery tray and ran the hoses underneath the tray. It is a great piece!

the PCV is before the catch can. the PCV forces air out into the intake along with oil for sum ls1's. so the catch can catches the oil before it gets into the intake. pat

my pvc line comes from the engine to the top of the can, then exits out the bottom of the can into the intake
