I used commonly available brass hose fittings to do the job. It eliminated the vapor smell from the engine immediately. Nice solution, Jack. I might even get around to implementing that one. Or you could just run the car on Castrol "R", and then you"d be wishing you got _more_oil fumes in the cockpit, rather than less (vintage racing fans will know what I mean - get an old incense burner, turn the lights down low, get the burner hot, and drip a few drops of "R" on it while listening to old Formula 1 tapes or LPs) Bill (who used to use a bit of R in the race cars, ostensibly as a top end lube, but really just so I could smell myself, as it were....)
