can someone please let me know whats correct/original for a 1966 327/350;

is the oil fill tube chrome or black ?

is the coil bracket the short/small round style or the long style that attaches to the ignition shielding ?

the finned valve covers on our 327 have an attachment, an extension about 3 inches wide on the outboard side at their midpoint. it has an oval shaped cap on top. i haven't seen this before, can someone please clue me in as to what the purpose of this is & who put it on; factory, dealer, bubba ?

lastly please recommend a source; book, website, etc where i can find out the correct colors for various engine parts & suspension. i'm not doing an NCRS restoration but do want to make thecar look as correct as possible.

thanks !

Sounds like a breather installed by a previous owner, not a factory item.

The NCRS judging guide is still a good source even if you aren't doing an NCRS restoration. Also, look up Noland Adam's complete restoration manual for 63-67 corvettes.

Chrome, with a threaded, slighly downward angled bung for the PCV valve.

Long, that also serves as a bracket to hold the ignition shield - positions the coil on the pass side of the distributor.

Here's a nicely-done '66 L-79, except the air cleaner shouldn't have a horsepower sticker on it.

Pictures of my matching numbers engine , original to car , oil dip and covers. 66 roaster, owned for 40 years

Also Corvette by the numbers by Alvin Colman, excellent for what parts belong on your car.

I have a older 327 that has the oil fill tube inline PCV that is supposed to link to carb. This Holley ahs the choke assy. removed. May I put a 'T' fitting at the rear of intake (it is presently linked to the brake booster) for a source? The block has the rear down draft set up as well.

This is a 13 year old thread and 2 of the responders are deceased and sorely missed.
Welcome to the forum. You should start a new thread and if possible include some pictures.
You have come to the right place to get your answers.

Thanks you.. Your set up goes to the rear of the carb & will also work w/this Holley. Whew, have polished out a decent set of 7 fin 'vette valve covers and really wanted to run them.
