Default Thinking about getting a catch can

I am buy one for my TA and I thought it would be a nice on the truck too. I thought it would be nothing but benificial. Anyone running them? I never looked at the install but I figured it could be installed on my truck. What do you guys/gals think?

I have a home made one.

Sorry about the crappy pic, if you need more let me know.
That's about a couple weeks worth of oil.

I'm getting in on the Accurate Machine Works GP. Hopefully no more crud in my intake and on the heads. I'm also going to get the new and improved PCV Valve from GM.

The catch cans act as filter. It seperates the oil from the air in the PCV systems.

Well, on a TA there are a couple of places (tight) to mount it but in my truck there is so much room it can go anywhere with respect to the hose length.

My thoughts exactly. I was going with a silver one for the TA and a black one for the truck
