Default 68 INTAKE

This is missing the oil fill tube. Is this a problem or can I cheaply find one or even the chrome one Paul67 has on his http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...EBWA%3AIT&rd=1

:confused:

That intake looks solid if a bit dirty. These intakes were as dirty or worse when I got them off EBay. Go for it! The oil tube is available from most catalogue firms. I picked mine up from Paragon last August at Carlisle.



PS-Watch the shipping costs (PA to CA). Those intakes are very heavy.

The broken off studs worry me. I don't want to have to hog and helicoil if I don't have to. This one came from Paul67 and is no longer on E-bay but he said he'd sell it for $25 plus shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36474 Sound good?
