Help installing a catch-can...
Hello, I'm new to the forum & here's the link to my intro:
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=431363 I recently purchased an Elite Engineering catch-can, but I'm not mechanically inclined. I've read that it's rather simple, but I would feel more comfortable if there was someone experienced present when I attempt it. Is someone willing to please help? I'm in Portland/Gresham & I don't mind going to you. Thanks in advance!

I checked YouTube & found installation videos for the LS & V6, in addition to review videos, but couldn't find one for the L99.

The L99 you connect the center of can to the rear of the drivers side valve cover, and the outlet of can to the intake manifold vacuum barb (simply are replacing that factory line with the catchcan). If you are running a dual outlet, then the second outlet will connect to a barb you install into the main intake tube coupler right where it connects to the throttle body. Checkvalves always flow away from the can and are in the outlets only (if your model can has checkvalves.
If running the Billet clean side separator, then it replaces the factory hose from the inner front of the passenger side valve cover and the hose will run to the barb on the CSS fro the main intake air tube. You will then cap the barb on the valve cover with the included vacuum cap. Hope this helps! |

Welcome to the forum. Look up the Columbia river camaro club. We will be having a garage day and do some projects just like that!
