Total new guy question about intake swap
I have a 327 in a 57 Bel Air (bought it like that). I decided to buy a new carb, and intake for it. I took off the original intake maifold which had a spout in the front by the water neck. I soon realized that the new edelbrok manifold didn't have a hole for the original spout.
My question is what I am to do about it? someone told me that I just need to buy new valve covers with an oil breather, and that it did not matter where I put new oil in from since it would still go into the galley (?). Now if this is true, what do i do about the hole that the spout led to from the manifold. I am talking about the hole in the galley underneath the manifold where you can see the rods. It seems to me that the oil poured into the original spout would go somewhere other than the galley due to that hole. Like somewhere below where the rods are vivsible.
I am totaly new to working on cars, but I want to learn and I am planning to take some classes. I thought I could do this on
my own, but i was totally wrong. I need some help from the experienced guys.
Please let me know if I need to put some pics, since I know I am only describing as best as I can. Also, please let me know of any other things i need to know since this is my first time swaping a carb and manifold.
Thanks so much
