Differential breather spitting fluid

[SHLBYFIA]

Yes, I read that post. It is reinforce my comfort that this will solve the problem with mine too. And that it is relatively uncomplicated.
Thanks

There is no room for that in my FIA, but I understand the CSX4000s have enough room to do that.

Thanks, greatly appreciated

Well, it looks like the recommendation is exactly what you did. The catch can I received is a Wilwood as well. Did your differential have a elbow already installed, or (like mine) a plug that has to be removed, then an elbow added. A braided hose is connected to the elbow, then run to the catch can in the trunk.

Nope. Had to remove the plug. Let me know how it goes.

Just wondering where your Wilwood catch can is mounted. The picture I have from Kirkam shows it inside the trunk.

On the Kirkham, it's mounted on the square diagonal down tube behind the driver seat, as high as possible.
On the Shelby, the down tubes are round..., so I mounted high on the right wall, just rear of the fuel pumps.
You can wing it a bit, just make it secure and high, but the lid accessible.

Thanks, that helps a lot. On mine there is a large square panel on the right wall of the trunk. The electric fuel pump is mounted there and there is plenty of room to mount a high catch can. Also there is room in the opening for the fuel lines for a breather line to go through too.

Removing the top plug on the diff, and replacing it with the 1/2" elbow will be tricky part.

[rodneym]

You got it on all counts.

[SHLBYFIA]

Thanks. Car goes on the rack Weds.

[SHLBYFIA]

Seems to be working fine now. Oil hasn't even risen to catch can. Thanks.

[rodneym]

That's the final slap in the face. Now that you've gone through all this, your catch will probably be bone dry from here on out, especially with the extra tubing and care you took to make sure your diff level is correct.
Glad you're all good.
