    Oil filler tube length, '66-67 L79

    Could someone post the length of the chrome oil filler tube on the L79 engine for '66 & '67 model years? The length extending from the top of the manifold to the end (without cap) would be fine. I purchased a repro that appears to be way too long.

    Does the L79 tube have the same dimensions as the base engine tube -- the only difference being the chrome plating?

    Thanks in advance.

    Jeff:

    I have a 1967 convertible with the 327/350 HP engine. The length from the aluminum intake manifold boss to the end of the oil filler tube is exactly 5 inches with the cap installed and 4-3/4 inches with the cap removed.

      Thank you, Larry. The repro tube I purchased would be over 6" with similar measurements. My hood is off now, but I bet it would strike the inside if installed. Maybe the tube is for a Chev II or something -- it has the pipe threaded boss for the 726 PCV and employs the same Standt cap.
