[Fot] Blocks

[John Hasty]

Thanks to all. Since this was the first block we got with the original
breather plug, though we would ask.  Since the old breather location seemed to
vacate more oil than vapor , I 'Spose because it was so low in the block, we
put a .75AN fitting in the fuel pump block off plate.

oil to leak out of all possibly places, especially later in the season when
you have a bit more blowby.

>> John, do you run an electric fuel pump, and if so, is the old mechanical
pump attachment location covered with a plate? I, and a lot of others, attach
a breather line to the plate that has been drilled and tapped for a fitting
and run the line to the catch tank. I also have the line from the valve cover
to the catch tank.
