[QUOTE="Howard, post: 36859, member: 271"] It's a Howard Special. The part that broke is off a Ford Escort. I use a D type cap on the rear exhaust rocker cap. Big tube goes round to the escort part I think it's called a PSV (or simillar initials) which is like a small cyclone to drop the oil vapour out. From there a large bore pipe goes to the rear number plate via a non-return valve. The small connection on the bottom of the PSV is piped back to where the valve lifter should be connected (I've got decompressors) so the PSV doesn't act like a catch tank. There's probably all sorts of reasons why I shouldn't do this in the many breather threads here, but the engine doesn't drip when it's parked, and oil doesn't come out of the end of the pipe.
