On a '37, 216 cid engine,is the oil filler/breather pipe a pressure fit to the block or is it fastened in some way other than the brace below the filler? Any advice on how to remove it?

Thanks,

CAB

It is a press fit. Sometimes they are hard to remove without damaging them. A block of wood and a hammer under where the down pipe comes out the main tube, tapping up, is sometimes needed.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!

Yep. Press fit. I sprayed mine with a bit of PB, let it soak and then with a bar wrapped in a rag and inserted between the main canister and vent pipe, worked it back and forth until it loosened.
