Exactly. And in 1963 the PCV valve and spin on filter was introduced. 1962 and older have road draft tubes and cannisters. The 1955 bypass filter was an option though and not standard equipment. My '55 Bel Air had one but my '55 Corvette didn't. No room to close the hood with that thing sticking up on the manifold with the Vette. I also had a '55 265 in my first car, a 1939 Ford Deluxe 2 door that didn't have a filter.Originally posted by R Pope
The '55 265 did have a filter, it was the bypass type like on the Stovebolt sixes. The '56 had the filter boss cast in like all the other SBC's.
