Bought a Performer 2101 - Questions?
So... I snagged this one on Fleabay last week - just came now.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/263139693471
My questions are?
What size hole for the oil filler tube? And are you sure?
Does the filler tube hole go exactly 90 degrees perpendicular to the undrilled boss on the manifold?
What gasket set (Felpro) do I want to use to mount it to a small block with stock heads and a Quadrajet?
And lastly, what gasket(s) on the carb side? The 3 piece kit like this:

I need to get the hole cut before it goes off for powder-coating (Chevy engine orange) I can order the gaskets while it waits.
Thanks!

I've never seen anything like this before or even heard of it. You drilled a hole through your intake/front distributor hole? to use as an oil filler tube??
Is this because you're using a vacuum pump for crank case evacuation and it makes getting a good seal easier or something?

(see pic of someone else's '68 here) The Edelbrock 2101 does not have the hole there for the oil filler pipe, but it does have a ready to drill boss/extrusion where the pipe goes. That way it can be used on early and later SBC's - if you have an older car and want it too look right you drill the boss and stick the tube in there where it belongs. That's normal SOP, not unusual in the least.
