Triumph Repair: Spitfire catch bottle, ascii graphics, rainy weather

Question
Jim,  Thanks for your recent help regarding my 1974 Spitfire 1500 distributor.
You have also been attempting to help me install a catch bottle for the blowby problem {all emissions equippment previously removed].
I am getting a little old and slow in Texas, so please bear with me a little longer.
As I understand it the catch bottle would be piped from the rocker cover through a PCV valve to a tee with one hose then going from the tee to the catch bottle and the other hose from the tee going to the large connector on the carb. I am guessing that the catch bottle would be vented to atmosphere.
Am I anywhere close?????

Answer
Tom,

No problem, I just blame it on the cold rainy weather that just arrived.

What the catch bottle is doing is stopping oil from travelling from the valve cover to the carb.

So...


Valve cover       Catch bottle   PCV       Carb

Now to see if Allexperts allows ascii graphics ;)

Run the line from the valve cover into one fitting on the catch bottle and on a second fitting put a line with a PCV valve then into the carb fitting.  This way you're using intake vacuum to pull blowby from the engine block.


Cheers,

Jim
