Dressed like an L79

[Joe B.]

I have a 67 327/300 car that came previously restored with the 350HP aluminum manifold. I like the look and would like to complete the "dress" by adding the correct water pump with the by pass hose into the manifold which currently has a plug. If I make this change do i have to change any pulleys, etc? I am not having the car judged. Thanks.

No, you won't have to change pulleys.

Would you mind posting (or sending) a photo of the oil "breather" tube that runs up to the air cleaner from the driver's side rear of the engine block.

Thanks (I am having trouble getting the paragon replacement for 300HP to fit correctly, and wonder if they sold me a 350 HP version instead.)

Here's my '67 300hp, with what I believe to be the original rear vent tube; the 350hp tube is angled up higher and is longer due to the high-rise intake manifold.
