8BA road draft tube OD

[1948F-1Pickup]

Or the ID of the hole in the manifold for the road draft tube ?

Looks like 1 5/8" or so?

Thanks.

Not sure the exact dimension, but if you're possibly looking for a way to block it off for a PCV Valve mod, a Dorman #555-023 freeze plug is a perfect fit. Link to the thread if you're interested. DD

I believe he is asking about the size of the exterior tube on an 8BA type manifold.

Are they the same?

Do you need the tube?

Naw. When the engine gets back from H&H I'm going to install a ME Wagner PCV valve on it........ I refuse to buy an aluminum plug for $40 (Jamco) when I can machine a remnant piece of 6061 in 5 minutes.

or you could use a freeze plug, inverted, braze a fitting on it for the pcv...
