USAC rule

V. With the exception of suspension components, induction and/or exhaust systems and nerf bars, no accessory or
component of the car may extend more than 6 inches from the main frame tubes. Cylindrical oil tanks mounted outside
the frame, behind the engine must be mounted as close to the frame as practical.

Now if I was to take a tape measure to the "breather can" that you had on you car it would not be within this 6" rule..... here is a link to the picture showing the evidence.. http://www.apexonephoto.com/Rumblein...8995&k=qvphmXn
The correct rule is posted on the Rumble web site:

2. All external engine accessories such as oil coolers, oil tanks, batteries, etc must be bolted to the frame of the car and not extend
outward beyond 8 inches. The frame is defined as in a straight line adjacent to the cockpit. Frame extensions making the frame
wider are prohibited.

Mr. Guess, I'm not sure where you were a few years ago when the oil tank measuring was an issue but we are within the rules as approved by the Rumble officials. Thanks.
