Title: 1968 L48 oil filler tube
Post by: Rustynut on August 03, 2022, 03:37:59 AM
Currently I have an oil filler tube and a filler cap on valve cover. Seems odd. Is it correct?

1968 had the oil fill in the intake only. Valve covers will have 2 holes only, 1 for pcv & the other for fresh air to the air cleaner as part of the pcv system...Joe

As I stated in your OTHER THREAD (http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=20151.0), you shouldn't have an oil filler in the valve cover. Only the intake. And since you have an L48, your valve covers should be chrome, not painted.

Is his tube & cap correct for the L48 since he hasn't ask? The 302 tube is chrome with a different cap, also chrome....Joe

Tube should be orange and cap should be chrome like Z.

Thanks Ed. I somehow skipped this last part on oil  cap. I do appreciate your knowledge!

In 67 the filler tube was chrome on the L48 350ci engine.  I'd expect it to be the same in 68, though I didn't check the CRG resources to confirm.

68 is painted orange but cap is chrome.

A little off topic, but doesn't the air cleaner lid in the first photo (Rusty's) look odd around the perimeter? I've looked at it over and over thinking maybe it was a "reflective illusion", but still think it's not correct.  :-\
