View Full Version : Oil Fill Tube Kent H Sep 3rd, 01, 02:58 PM Hi folks. Been watching a while, but just starting to post. My question is, if the oil fill tube on a SB is in the front of the intake, does that make it a 67 engine? Thanks for any help! kent memcgraw Sep 3rd, 01, 04:22 PM Welcome Kent H!! I'm not sure if the oil fill tube identifies it as a 67 but I think it does indicate it is a 67 or earlier block as I think PVC setups were required starting in 68. Best way to check is probably post the codes off the block. The 327 in my 67 had the fill tube. Mark M. boodlefoof Sep 3rd, 01, 04:38 PM the 327 in my '68 had a fill tube. Joe G Sep 3rd, 01, 07:54 PM Was there any 69 engine that had the oil fill in the front? (Maybe a non-CA small block?) Trying to figure out if an engine looks correct. thanks joe ------------------ 69 SS396 Resti-Clone WCA Member Badboatdude@CS.com 69 Pics http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1506559&a=11674961 Jonesy Sep 3rd, 01, 08:27 PM No, the last year was 1968. Joe G Sep 4th, 01, 05:41 PM Did any 69 302's have the intake manifold that had the "plug" in front that an oil fill tube could be installed in? Were there any 69 302 non-CALIF cars that did not have smog pumps and AIR?

On 67 and earlier engine, the crankcase vent is in the back of the block, to the side of the distributor. My 67 had the filler neck, and I believe that 68's did as well. But it ended there.

The casting number for the intake is 391980 3 GM4 and the date code is E138. ------------------ Bryan Shook Favorite Quote - Some people have shrinks. Some people have their garage.
