No Thompson for me either. 
Maybe next year. Sorry to hear about your off day. I'll bet it was still better than work though. Must be a thrill to be shooting with the worlds best. I have always enjoyed guns and shooting. I hope to pass it down to my son. Safety first! Brian

Where are you hunting at? I shoot the 6mmPPC mostly at 100 and 200 yard group shoots.
Here's what i'm going to try on my oil spitting problem due to no plug in my intake. First i'm going to try putting a pvc in my vent/fill tube, hook it to my front carb vaccum, and if that doesn't stop it, i'll try putting baffles on the inside of the tube.

My buddy Ronnie and I had a shooting match Tuesday and he ain't no Freakin puter either.

Are you going to put more stuff that looks like steel wool in there? I'm thinking about making a sleeve/tube with 2 or 3 baffles in it and slide it down the existing vent/fill tube.
Barry, I'm sorry but I don't understand............ ????
Does this mean Ronnie can shoot or that standing on the dock he couldn't hit his lake with a scatter gun ????Dave
FWIW,,,, expansion plugs ( freeze plugs ) drilled with lots of holes , then tack welded upper and lower in the oil filler tube is a help. Cheap and efficient.
Should have mentioned that if the oil fill tube is baffled, then you have to be concerned about oil changes. Oil does not like the baffles,, takes a long time to fill crankcase.
Thought I would touch base on this as I had the problem with my first 409 build back in 94 and just happened to read this post before i left for Thompson last week. So here is what happened I have breathers that I did install on valve covers no pvc and no road draft hole.Oil started spitting out of front oil fill breather (no shield full throttle going down track).Picked up a shielded breather put it on with shield facing fan ran car full throttle a little less oil spitting, turn the breather around with shield facing the back of the car and not a drop of oil came out at full throttle so problem solved for me for now. Hope this helps I'll try and post a pic once I can get it loaded.

Hi Guys
I'm just wondering what to do with the rear hole in my Offey manifold ? If i run the pcv from the filler tube, with a sealed twist cap.
do i run a hose on the back to a catch can , i don't want to have a discharge pipe?
This is for my 409 in my 57 150
Thanks

Wow, this thread brought up some memories, miss a lot of guys on this thread :>(... Dave, Brian, Ronnie, Derry, great bunch who knew their shit and loved engineering, which is a lot more esteemed than just a typical knuckle buster. I still pull up there threads for lessons, amazing knowledge...
I just ran into that problem with oil coming up and out of the filler tube. Some of the blocks are open to the timing chain. if you have the filler tube out of the intake, put your finger in there and you can feel the timing chain. I'm going to weld a deflector at the bottom of the filler tube at an angle so the the oil can't go up the tube. The deflector will be in the lifter valley not in the tube.
This took care of spitting oil from the fill tube at higher RPM for me.
