I heard some people find brake booster check valves in the help section of Pepboys, Autozone etc.

Autozone and Lowes both sell campbell hausfield air compressor water separaters for about $15. No drill mod is needed for these. I screwed in 2 copper pipes in each end. They are 1/2 inch OD copper 1" long. Cut the passenger side breather hose and put inline to the supercharger intake.

That's not the kind of check ya need.
The one ya need is metal and comes from a shop/supplier that deal in blower parts and install.

If ya got a LT1 intake the PCV valve is on the side about in the center of the intake. FORGET about the valve cover all together. It has a curvy hose to the vacuum supply.

Ya will have to use a longer straight hose to install it but it goes in the curly hose after it is cut and other hose to make it fit.

Ya can get a clear fuel filter and put in in the line and plug the TB opening and lay the filter on the wires along the valve cover and it will do fine with the CHECK installed properly

Re: who sells check valves?

cool the picture gives me a better idea anyhow... thats where i was going to mount mine in the hose. i guess i will check autozone for a brake booster check valve and maybe see if they have the oil/water seperator in there air tool area. homedepot should have something too.. where did you get your seperator at i need to make sure its the right size inside and out..

Re: who sells check valves?

i bought a Husky oil/water seperator. i looked and asked at autozone and advanced and they don't carry brake boosters. only brake booster check valve they had was a two way and the shape of it would not. what exactly does a brake booster check valve look like?? where can i get one?

Like I said earlier the check ya need is metal.
Brake checks are plastic.
