Transmission catch can placement

I don't recall seeing anything mentioned in ANY of 40 coupes' posts to indicate what combo, trans,converter, engine ect. so I'm baffled by 1320 know it all advice. I guess when you run a 3500? stall converter you don't build much heat. My T-350 has the vent in the stock location and it will push a bit of fluid at times, My solution bought a small aluminum catch can put a filter in the top and ran the hose from my vent to the bottom of the catch can, mounted it high in LF fender behind the apron. This way if it pushes fluid out it runs right back in to the trans, can is out of sight and no leaking issues. Of course 1320 may have some inside info about 40 coupes ride that the rest of us are unaware of, if so I retract my first statement.Joe
