Here is a variation on the velocity stack.It really works well at cleaning up the engine room as well as a large part of the plane exterior.

The tube in this case is swedged to allow for passing thru the plywood mount. A tube soldered to the side passes vent oil to the carb intake rather than the intake passage from carb to valve area. No negative effect on running.
