Re: Transmission catch can placement
My setup is like Ken's, never had a problem when I ran the 400 trans with the 200 I'll lose a little. Most stk and ss don't use trans coolers so that fluid can get hot in the later rds.

Re: Transmission catch can placement
I have one too, was good to have when NHRA instituted an oil down penalty. Could've used it a year earlier when the trans blew and pushed fluid out.

That said, bracket races are typicaIly same day events, 2 time shots within a few hours of each other and go racing with the late rounds running minutes apart unlike Divisional and National events. Further, I double enter every big $ gambler race I enter as do many of my competitors, running minutes apart every round in eliminations. If I/they ain't puking fluid, you, test/tuning should never be puking fluid. A good cooler and synthetic fluid is all you need. Matter of fact I don't use an aftermarket external cooler, rather I use the cooler in the OE radiator. Last edited by 1320racer; 05-01-2012 at 05:17 AM. |

Do you know why Stockers and super stockers run no cooler? 40Coupe came here because he wants info from those who Walk the Walk, and Talk the Talk...not someone who can Rap the Crap. As they say...(paraphrased)...talk to your self cause the screen ain't listening...you have officially been added to my ignore list. |

Re: Transmission catch can placement
JAZ makes a small 1 pint breather tank for JR dragsters that fits nicely on most cars.
I mount them on the crossmember most times. I've never seen a Metric 200, or most other trans' that did'nt puke a little oil when hot lapping, no matter who built it , since most Stockers dont run a cooler on the trans. Almost every trans builder out there relocates the breather on 200's and Torqueflites.

That said, we are getting away from his question which was...what type and where to install a catch can and you along with Ken, Ron and Greg have offered their suggestions and my advice is unplug/reinstall the factory vent and problem solved. Last edited by 1320racer; 05-01-2012 at 09:46 AM. |

Re: Transmission catch can placement
I agree if the trans is a PG or 400 use the stock vent location, but I'd still run a puke tank just for the safety / keep it clean factor.
