baffles and there is a foam that some shops sell just for that application. Some folks wrap it around the outside and others stuff it inside the breathers.

Yep had one of those breathers and they suck! Just go back to the og pcv valve and hook it up to your carb. Problem solved the cheapest and most efficient way. Unless you want to spent some real money on some edelbrock or morosso breathers which are 30 bucks a piece and those don't spew any oil for some reason Good luck.

I tried the panty shit...didnt work. well i researched the prob. and the answers were all different. My engine does have a high volume oil pump. The engine does have restrictors. I was told to swap the high volume pump for a stock, add restrictd push rods for jetboat appl. by MONDELLOS TWISTER they have all the goods for oldsmobile.

On my 460 Ford I put a breather line in the pan and built a puke tank, it works well takes the motor pressure down to a minimum.
