| Concerning the NHRA regulations, does the capacity matter?

| | Charlie, I don't believe so. I currently run a Moon catch can, but when I ran my Model A and it would not pass tech due to the lack of a catch can, we attached an empty "tall boy" beer can to the rad, via a gear clamp. It passed tech and contunued to do so for several years after at many different tracks. I left it there as my good luck charm, seemed to work too!  Rob

| | Yes, the NHRA 2008 rulebook specifies 1 pt. (16 oz) minimum. I use a 1 qt plastic oil bottle, tie wrap it to the radiator support and then run a length of rubber hose from the neck to inside the bottle. I use a black bottle to blend in with the rad support. Regards, Dennis |

| Alright, thanks. I have my eye on a pint sized catch can.

| | I have a 16 oz laundry fabric softener bottle mounted upside down with a hole in what is now the top for the overflow hose. I can unscrew the cap to drain the bottle without removing it from its mount. John in Selma, IN

| I used the original(repo) "See-Clear" windsheild washer bag! It look like it should be there and works perfect. Sure looks better than any plastic bottle. You can get repos cheap too. I had to remove the check ball in the bag cap, run a hose to the overflow at the rad. cap, and put a low pressure cap on the radiator

| | Charlie, most of the parts stores have "Kits" fo $10 or $15. paint the bottle/can black like dennis said, pisses the techs off when they can't find it!
