Mark,
I have been learning allot about TF motors lately. What I have found is
that for 58/59 there were 5 versions of the 283 available. All had
different HP ratings and different air cleaners on them. This info comes
straight from the 59 Chevrolet Salesman booklet. When I get home tonight I
will look up the details on each one.
BTW if I remember correctly, only one version had the PCV tube connected to
the front of the air cleaner.

Subject: [oletrucks] Long shot--parts wanted
I know that this is a long shot but. . .
The TF Assembly manual shows a positive crankcase ventilation option where
the
vent tube comes of the side of a special oil filler tube on the intake and
goes into front side of the air cleaner. I need to do something like this
for
crankcase ventilation as I don't want to use modern valve covers on my 350
and
instead intend to use period covers on it without the pcv ports.
Does anyone have any of these parts that they would be willing to part with
or
does anyone have pictures of the real hardware that could assist me in
making
my own?
Corvette restoration sources sell a similar oil filler with vent that was
used
on mid-sixties vettes; I guess I could make the rest if I had to.
Thanks,
