Quick intake question
I currently have the Edelbrock Preformer intake with no oil filler tube so I have to pour my oil through the valve cover. With the baffles and such I have to pour slowly and it grieves me. I want to change my intake and go with the air gap intake anyway so.....
Is there any reason I can't get a intake with the oil filler tube and switch to pouring my oil in that way? I have a 72 350 motor. It's a option that varies by type of intake not by the type of motor is isn't it? I haven't looked to see if they make a air gap with the filler tube option yet, but that will be an option I will be looking for. I have only installed one intake and that was 15-20 years ago. So sorry if this is a dumb question.

Re: Quick intake question
Yes you can but I will be at a cost made for retro look what ya need to do is change valve covers and get one that has a filler hole and a pcv one side and one breather hole on the other that's it.

Re: Quick intake question
Don't your valve covers have any unbaffled holes? The fill hole should go straight into engine.

Re: Quick intake question
Valve covers have 3 holes on modern engines,, PCV vent , Crankcase breather, and oil fill. If your missing one,, here's a cheep and attractive solution.
