Hi everyone, happy holidays! I have a ‘74 1.8 that has been rebuilt with twin Weber’s, cam, etc. I had one of our great senior members help with some carb
 issues and he suggested I need an oil catch can for the outlet where the oil filler vent used to go to the FI. I bought one of them and not sure where it should be mounted, plus it has an inlet and outlet. Where does the outlet line go? Your pictures would be very helpful. Appreciate any guidance!Thanks, Rick |

I got this probably off Amazon, could have been local FLAPS also.
it needs to be not very tall as vertical space is limited. Bottom goes to oil vent at filler & vapors go to top of carb air cleaner. It had 2 extra ports I just capped. So far with about 50 miles on new build, haven't seen any oil collect in the tubes.  |

Thanks. How did you cut the hole for venting into the air cleaner? Not sure I want to do that. Any other suggestions and pictures out there from other members?
Thanks again! |

Here's what mine looks like using a Claude's Buggies catch box with Dual Dellorto 40 carbs. The hoses connect as follows:
Oil Filler Neck to Catch Box Catch Box to Driver Side Carb Air Cleaner Catch Box to Driver Side Port adjacent to Intake Base Catch Box to Passenger Side Port adjacent to Intake Base Ansbacher   |

Thanks! I already bought a catch can, and it has one inlet and one outlet. Can I vent the outlet below the car and not connect to either carb air filter?
