Unanswered: Crank case venting w/ dual side drafts

Does anyone have a picture or a good description of crankcase venting with dual side drafts? I have read the threads on the 32/36s but with the duels I don't have a carb base plate to vent to for vacuum and there are lots of warnings not to use the brake vacuum off the one manifold hole.

I have the big hose connected to the filters of the carbs but the little hose I just have a one way valve on there and I am getting to much pressure and hence oil leaks. Any suggestions?

Best bet for the brake booster hose, as you've mentioned, is to tie all the intake runners together for shared vacuum. But for the crankcase breather, I never run it back into the engine. Oil vapor will reduce fuel octane, and may make your engine detonate. So I use a 1-quart breather/overflow container, similar to: http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...62&prmenbr=361
If you thread a fitting into your valve cover with a 5/8" barb, you can put a -10AN (5/8") hose from the valve cover to the breather tank. Don't worry about the small hole on the valve cover, it can be plugged.
