      I agree, the battery location probably ain't ideal, but what other choice do I have? I'm open to ideas...that won't require me to pay someone $100 per hour to do. I would like to have it just like Tim, but DSE won't make me a bracket.

      Are you driver enough? Maybe....come on blue!

      The tank I originally had is modified on the bottom and too small (only 2 gallons). The tank that Bryan had Steffs make is going to be the easiest solution but I would change the way he did the breather, I would have three -12 fittings added to the side, run one to a breather can and run the other two to each valve cover.

      Interesting that you point out the breather setup... I've been debating whether I want or need to add a catch can to my system to alleviate any potential crankcase pressure. I really don't think that I do, as I expect the Dailey pump should pull any pressure out and pass it out of the breather (I see puffs of smoke out of it from time to time, so I know something is coming out).

      Tim, do you have any thoughts on whether a catch can is needed on our setups, since ours are similar? Yours can pull way more vacuum than mine can, but I would think mine would evacuate any pressure that might build up in side the engine... Agreed?
