FYI - Edelbrock now produces the #2703 manifold with the oil fill tube included.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-2703/?image=largeThe 7101 Performer RPM manifold has a blanked off provision for the oil fill, but this might be a bit much for a mild 283. This is the manifold I'm running on my 350 with the oil fill.

I've been using the 600 cfm manual choke model for over 20 years and find them reliable, easy to tune and rebuild.
