hey guys i have a 57 chevy 235. i am in the process of rebuilding the engine and i think im missing a oil tube..
i am looking at the lifter with the side cover off and there is a threaded hole that i think supplies oil to the rocker shaft. i am kinda remembering that there was a pipe that screwed into it.. can someone get me a picture or fill me into what i should be looking for.? or am i dreaming.
thanks

Yes, there should be a line there, 1/8" diameter if memory serves. Been a while since I had mine apart. The line runs from the rear hole that you mention up to another threaded hole at the top of the lifter area, just below the deck surface. I don't have a pic for you, perhaps another 'Bolter will have one that can show you more clearly where it routes. I beleive that the line is available new from several of the suppliers listed on the links page.
