Stock Oil Filler Extention ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Ironhorse** · 01-15-2003, 10:13 PM

Can some one hopefully post some pics of an original, unmolested oil filler extention tube on a 350 V-8 motor. I have the stock filler tube extention and hopefully the correct valve cover for driver's side with disc brakes and vacumn boost assist. Valve cover has one 1 1/4" hole, smooth, round with no twist in lug notches for oil cap. It is used with a rubber grommet for the filler tube and a smaller one for the driver's side PVC. What about the passenger side? I know it needs the one small hole for the tube routed up through the breather. Is there also a larger hole for a push-in rubber based breather cap? My truck does not have original 350 motor but being 4x4 like the idea of not having to stretch so far to put in a quart of oil. Thanks for all replies and in-put.

Thanks for the picture of the engine compartment. Looks so much nicer and cleaner than mine. I need to do a lot of clean up, mostly the engine itself. Never paint a engine black, always looks dirty. I can pick out the left side filler and the PCV, also the air cleaner breather tube on the passenger side. Is there another breather cap or oil plug under/behind the a/c compressor? Can't tell for sure. Thanks for posting the pic.

Thanks for the pictures. It clears up a few questions for me. I now have one valve cover and need to find another one to be in buisiness. Thanks again for the assistance.

I know I have a valve cover with just the single vent hole if that is the one you need. I have seen them like mtdave2's with and without the oil plug on the passenger side.
