Canadian Intake Question 3 Attachment(s)
I picked up this intake @Hershey, and found the oil fill neck fracture m a buddy of mine. 59ab big truck cab over maybe?
Anyway, anyone know of a breather cap, stock or otherworldly de, I can use? We f anyone has one for sale or can sell me, send me a message. Thanks! |
Re: Canadian Intake Question I don't know what originally came on it, but it looks like a Corvair oil fill cap might work. No venting in the Corvair cap, it just seals the tube. Corvairs vented through the push rod tube o-rings, just kidding.:)

Re: Canadian Intake Question Thanks, Zeke - will check it out ….

Tom .....I love those manifolds. As "handy" as you are at fabricating, here's a suggestion. Take one of these '63-'65 Corvette oil-fill tubes (available at all of the Vette outlets), along with this "twist-on" cap, cut that two-foot-long pipe down to some reasonable height, 'glue' them together....voila! You could even utilize the little HOSE connection for a PCV Valve, or not. The last picture shows what a Canadian friend of ours did with his similar manifold. He has mounted a PCV Valve below the plate.

Re: Canadian Intake Question There is actually what could almost be called a tapped in hole for a PCV valve in this manifold.
Thanks so much for the ideas! |

This is the ONLY picture that I have showing the stock CAP. DD https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/attac...0&d=1574009667 |
Re: Canadian Intake Question Thanks so much, gents - I would like to use some version of the front fill pipe and incorporate a PCV valve. It all depends on the diameters of the Corvette and Corsair fill pipes vs the little over 1” OD of the stock pipe to see how much of a slice and dice it’s going to be ….

Re: Canadian Intake Question Plain twist on petrol cap for a v8 should fit. that's what I have on my oil filer tube which is on Canadian Aluminum manifold.

Re: Canadian Intake Question I’ve seen at least 2 different types.

Caps, one locks external and the other internal.

Re: Canadian Intake Question I worked at a Chevy dealer when Corvairs still roamed the streets, don't get me started. :)

Re: Canadian Intake Question Quote:
I bet you have some great stories about them. I still have one, pretty rusty though. |
