Here's a link to where I bought my AMW (Accurate Machine Works) catch cans.

Got them from Haney Motorsport in Goodyear, AZ.
There's a video clip on the site below that shows how much oil it caught after 1100 miles on a Super Charged Mustang.

they sell them as HMS Engine Oil Separator Catch Can.

Here's another link that also includes installation instructions. It's pretty simple to do, may take 1/2 an hour at best.

I'm running a pair of catch cans.....1) on the PCV system and 2) off passenger valve cover. Just had to fab up a bracket to mount them both.

Not finding any oil in the valve cover catch can, however, I've found about 3/8" oil depth in the apporx. 2 1/2" dia. PCV Catch can after about 1,000 miles of driving.  Glad this has been diverted from being dumped back into the intake thru the vacuum block.

Am using AMW's  catch cans with check valve installed on the PCV can. They are  working great....I am happy with how they function.
