Oil fill tube Intake manifold C7AE 9425 F
 
I've got the manifold but the oil fill tubes that I've been able to find aftermarket are all 1 3/8 OD and the hole in the front of the manifold is only 1.032 ID. Anyone know where I can find the right size oil fill tube? Looks like everyone out there gets them from Blue THunder.. They make them to fit BT manifolds which are apparently different than Ford Manifolds.

There are some on ebay: 1958 64 FORD 352 390 427 INTAKE MANIFOLD OIL FILL TUBE | eBay

Also, Tim Mason and Deerborn Steel Tubing has some NOS ford oil fill tubes as well: DEARBORNSTEELTUBING.COM

something isn't kosher there......a C7AE-F intake is a 428 PI intake. it doesn't have a oil fill tube from the factory. it has a flat where one would go but not drilled. if your 100% on the casting number maybe it was drilled somewhere in its life.

Dan as far as I know FWB is right. I have that same intake on my car and no fill tube has ever been in it.

i think it was around the time of the valve cover placed pcv the oil fill tube was phased out. i believe the start of the 1966 model year.
i would get a freeze out plug the right size and plug it. honestly i have a blue thunder intake on my car and i kept my hole plugged,(don't even go there)...
it tends to make fuel line routing a PITA with the tube there.
