Re: Canadian Intake Question
I don't know what originally came on it, but it looks like a Corvair oil fill cap might work. No venting in the Corvair cap, it just seals the tube. Corvairs vented through the push rod tube o-rings, just kidding.

Re: Canadian Intake Question
Tom .....I love those manifolds. As "handy" as you are at fabricating, here's a suggestion. Take one of these '63-'65 Corvette oil-fill tubes (available at all of the Vette outlets), along with this "twist-on" cap, cut that two-foot-long pipe down to some reasonable height, 'glue' them together....voila! You could even utilize the little HOSE connection for a PCV Valve, or not. The last picture shows what a Canadian friend of ours did with his similar manifold. He has mounted a PCV Valve below the plate. DD . |

Re: Canadian Intake Question
There is actually what could almost be called a tapped in hole for a PCV valve in this manifold.
Thanks so much for the ideas! |

Re: Canadian Intake Question
Thanks so much, gents - I would like to use some version of the front fill pipe and incorporate a PCV valve. It all depends on the diameters of the Corvette and Corsair fill pipes vs the little over 1” OD of the stock pipe to see how much of a slice and dice it’s going to be ….

Re: Canadian Intake Question
Plain twist on petrol cap for a v8 should fit. that's what I have on my oil filer tube which is on Canadian Aluminum manifold.

Re: Canadian Intake Question
I would argue that the problem was the material selected for the o-rings rather than the design of the tubes. Once Viton o-rings became available the problem was solved. The design was most likely driven by cost. The VW tubes and seals are much more robust.

Re: Canadian Intake Question
I worked at a Chevy dealer when Corvairs still roamed the streets, don't get me started.
