Breather Question

I have blow back into my air box, now my question is, can i just run the line to close to the ground with no filter and lit it drip (i do very minor off road, no water more than 6-10 inches.), but mostly road driving.

If not, what can i do with this? Is there any fixes?

If you look here I talked about it, but really didnt get into it.

Breather Question

Older (higher mileage) 302's and 351's are prone to greater amounts of crank case blow-by. Originally, before emissions restrictions, the breather was merely an open filter atop one valve cover. So, running the engine that way wouldn't do any damage that I can think of. The concern is if you have to pass a visual inspection for emissions equipment. (Of course there are ways around that temporarily too).
