1968 442 400ci Valve Cover Vent Tube

My car had MT valve covers & vent tube when I got it. I changed to the correct notched covers and now the vent tube does not line up to the stock air cleaner. I found some formed rubber hoses and made something that works. I have tried to get the correct metal tube but nothing seems to fit. This must be unique to the 400 and 1968. Does any one have a correct vent tube I can get?

Thank's,
Dave

AC=OAI or not-AC?

One goes up and AFT from the valve cover, the other up and FWD.

You have the 5/8 diameter grommet for the valve cover?

I have a spare non-OAI type I think.
77 Toro is ALMOST the same as the ac=OAI type but not quite.

Meh, they offer only the two most common slight-bend units
405087 Air Cleaner Vent Pipe 1969-76 above listing 17.50 ea.
403299 Air Cleaner Vent Pipe 1969-77 350, 1977 403 16.50 ea.

which I have a huge box full of.

I suggest you text or call me

I may have missed a call
my phone is really bad at telling me I missed calls and have msgs, then it's a 30 min painful process to go thru every damn message to get to the new ones.

Texting is best.

Still unclear if you need AC=OAI or no-AC unit.
