An fittings on valve cover location
Where is everyone mounting 10an bungs on the valve covers with keeping the coils in the stock location? And with out having oil issues, my first thought was at the rear on the driver side and at the front on the passenger side.

I bought another passenger side valve cover with the oil cap and I run an oil fill adapter with -10 on both sides

Agree with both posters above. The Mighty Mouse adaptor is one of the best inventions ever.
I have one of those with a single -12AN hose running from the passenger side oil filler location (see picture). My thinking is that if you need more pressure relief than that can provide, you probably need new rings...

I knew about the Mighty Mouse adapter and it works slick. But I already have bungs and a decent welder. So figured I would just do it myself and save some money. I was more worried about placement and excessive oil getting into the lines. But I think staying above the baffling I’ll be fine. Was hoping to see home pictures of other guys setups.

Had them on my stock covers before I switched to hollleys but I cant find a picture. Like I said, as long as the baffle is there, you wont have any issues.

I have a set of holley covers with fittings welded on already. $100

I run on the road course (~630 whp on a good day, NA). I experienced a lot of oil circulation when under heavy braking. I have a mighty mouse "wild" catch can with the re-circulation line.
I spoke with MMS about this and they suggested I add an AN fitting instead of the oil fill adapter. This is welded inside the baffled cavity so as to block direct fluid injection and drop out from the recirculating vapors.
It is perpendicular to the pushrod oil squirt, and the fitting elbow is facing backwards to prevent ingestion to the catch can when braking. It is also as high as possible to prevent gravity feed.

I was going to put my passenger side as show but worried oil would gravity feed into the line. I happen to stumble across a used Mighty Mouse adapter today in the for sale section. So bought that and will use that on the passenger side for now. Going to weld up the driver side this week.

I was planning on just running the race can, I know one side goes into the can but does the other side also connect to the can and everything vents out the top? Any benefits to using the pvc can besides not venting to the atmosphere? I just run filters on my turbos so I don't have a place to tap pre turbo.
