I recently drilled 2) holes in my Cannon intake, tapped them with 1/8"
pipe threads, picked up 2 nipples to fit the threads at a hardware store
and ran 2) 5/16" hoses to a "Y" and then to the PCV.
The side sucker Weber seems to like this much better. At least I noticed
a much snappier accelleration.
This was found by accident when I put a Weber on my A40 that had 2 holes
and not 1 big hole like most intakes. I have since made this
modification to my Sprite.
I recomend it.
Plug up the large hole or scale it down to 1/8" pipe thread, drill and
tap the other barrel of the intake and put 2 fittings in. I used a 1/8"
pipe > 5/16" ribbed for a hose type fitting. Now both barrels suck the
same.
You can always plug up the new threads with an 1/8 pipe plug.
