I ran the rear axle to the fuel door compartment, the other 3, which were two, went to the inner fender behind the fake vent cover.

I like the idea of putting it in that fender void, out of sight

Yeah, it would be a good shop project to make your own from alum. block.

 

[RHINO]

you dont even have to make your own, they are readily available aluminium manifolds for air compressor distribution,

i used one like this, 10 whole dollars on Amazon even at todays extortionary proffit margins

The grape scent smells worse than regular gl-4 and once it's burnt up, it smells worse than that!

You could use one of these instead of a regular fuel filter for the rear cargo area.

Might use something like that for the fuel venting. Won’t be using a charcoal canister. Previously, I’d installed an inline fuel filter in place of the one-way valve, then routed a hose to the rear side reflector/vent. Worked out good. Will be visiting that aspect of the build shortly.

once again the air compressor stuff came to my rescue, look at Speedaire filters, back when i did my setup they had little foam filters with 3/8ths threads on them, screwed right into my manifold.

having said that, those breathers you have an unending supply of are excellent, all metal and what 1/4" or 3/8" threads?, it wont get any better than that.

edit, looks like Speedaire still makes it

I think if you park outside you can use almost anything. If it's in the garage then that's another story and you would likely have to replace the one I referenced fairly often if you didn't want a fuel smell in the garage. Of course you could always do an off-line purge and rotate a couple of them.

What a difference a week makes!
Finished the paint work on the doghouse
Pre-lubed the 5.3 with this pressure oil transfer tank I bought close to a year ago.
Reinstalled the lower valve covers, coils, wires, and a majority of the engine bay components.
Was on a roll so I also mocked up the fenders to see how all that was going to turn out. The lower fenders will possibly need to be lengthened and then I need to fabricate a stabilizer bracket that hooks to the tub to keep the fenders from flapping in the wind going down the road. When that’s finished, considering sending a bunch of the pieces off to the sandblaster for the same treatment as the doghouse.
Anyways, a handful of things to complete before firing up the engine. Getting close.

Side quest buttoned up.
Cerekoted the hood release. Put it back together with some moly grease. Smooth as butter. Not sure what I think about the cable

 

[RUSH55]

Don’t think I ever posted these pics. Converted the valve cover breather ports to NPT threads so that I could install fittings into them and run AN fitting equipped hoses to a Moroso canister.
Kinda pissed me off at first to have to spend another unplanned $500 to do this project, but it ends up being a pretty nice feature.
