Let me know if you go with Richards setup. If you have pics of it I sure would like to see it. So are we talking about a crank driven vacuum pump? I installed my catch can / Krank Vent setup and it works TOO good... gonna have to throttle incoming crank case fresh air.

can you elaborate on the EVANS why you had to go to a 1900-1920 restoration place to get it?

this was just the closest stocking Evans dealer near me, luckily about 10min away. Apparently the Evans waterless coolant is very popular with the resto shops in my area.

Evans will not boil until about 360 degrees F,so you don't have any hot spots in the motor where the coolant boils locally causing knock.I can run about 6 more degrees of timing with no KR.The down side is that it is expensive at about $30/Gal and can not be mixed with water.
