Thread: Early 327 Road draft tube question

Tweet

I have a 1967 camaro with the original 327/210hp engine , I was attempting to put on a new edelbrock air gap intake but the bottom of the intake hits a small can like piece at the back of the block on the drivers side of the engine which is bolted inside the valley that goes out the back to I guess what is called a road draft tube, from there that tube , or hose now goes into a pvc valve into my GM Performance valve covers...... My question is ....can i remove this can so the intake will fit and will I need to do any other mods so everything works properly.... The car has no emissions or anything else I need to worry about.


TIA
Jeff

Yes, you can remove the can. Then take the road draft tube adapter out and plug the hole with a soft plug. Re-route your PCV system to the valve covers.

yeah i had the same problem and a 1.25" freeze plug from the auto parts store fit perfectly in the hole. i then re-routed the pvc from the valve cover to the carb. there is a guy here that knows a lot and is really helpful. he even sent me some picks. i think his screen name is denny w. see if u can contact him through this forum
