Long Oil fill tube REPLICA
Here's a photo
Much less expensive if we don't have to buy/sell thru epay of course.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151184090366...84.m1555.l2649
like GM PN 391279
"DESCRIPTION: Your bid is for an excellent REPLICA [NOT an original factory issue!!] Long OIL FILL TUBE, as used on the 66 1966 Oldsmobile L69 L-69 W30 W-30's & such similar vehicles.
Hand made by none other than your friendly THE Rocket Scientist here in Lansing. This meticulously crafted REPLICA is necessary for proper appearances when you pop the hood of that L69 442 W30, or clone/ tribute thereof. A place to mount that Glass Bowl Fuel Filter. Sorry for the steep price, but oil fill tubes to start with are not easy to come by anymore, it takes a LOT of time to make and finish these, and selling/ shipping/ money transfer are NOT "free" to the seller.
Will box nicely in a medium to large USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate box for easy delivery to anywhere in the USA. Simply click -my- link above or below to see my other [including the COMPLETED] auctions for mating and similar parts.
CONDITION: As you see. NOTE that there will be a detectable weld seam inside. You can expect some surface imperfections, as they are made from USED TUBES. After painting, the exterior seam may not be "undetectable." The bottom end may require work and/or sealer to get a perfect tight fit in the block."

don't forget to stop by the Chinesium girdle auction and ask a silly question so I can reply.

huh. I used to make a batch and sell these for $50 each but those days of essentially free material are gone, as is the workspace.

I have three 391279 because I bought a supply about 1973. The shop manual said to discard. I soon learned to reinstall an old one with RTV sealer. I doubt anyone else has any. I also have one NOS late style, short straight with NOS screw on cap. I think they are easier to find. Back in the 70s I tried to buy up all the Tri Carb and W30 parts for '66s that I could anticipate needing and could afford. When the shroud was discontinued 12-72, it clued me that GM was not my friend and would not keep everything at least ten years, as urban legend said.
