That is one of the problems associated with putting on a blower.  With a
blower that fitting is pressurized when you crack open the throttle.  I'm
curious to know how the guys with blowers evacuate the crankcase.  I know
that Doug Lewis put a Vacu-Pan on at least one blower car.  So, how 'bout
blower car owners?
