    RPM air gap.. and I do have a C3B.
    No need for an oil fill with a 350.
    Breathers in the covers, same covers you have.
    Holley Street Avenger 670....I ain't losing sleep over it either. 20210629_195737.jpg

  2. I love vintage SBC aftermarket intakes. Personally, I’d use the C3BX just so I could look at it every time I opened the hood. I just don’t believe there would enough difference to feel it.

    I started out with a Performer EPS. Came with a Holley square flange and an oil fill tube. I don't know if it's a P/N 2101 or not. It's just sitting on a shelf now.

    The C3BX has the vintage look. The Performer is a bit more refined and will make a little more power. The performance difference between the two will probably be unrecognizable so choose along those guidelines.

    Irrelevant to the question, but if you need an oil fill tube for that intake just let me know Tommy.

    C3BX Eddy bcuz it's a nice older mid/late 60's intake and it looks cool, are you running older SBC heads its just right for those older head's.
    I like my C3BX with my Vintage 60's Eddy Valve Cover's with no holes in the Valve Cover's, put on my 461 Hump Look-a-Like heads with a 3310-780 cfm Holley Carb from a mid 60's ot Chevelle on my LJ 327 going in my 63 C10.
    God Willing some day!

    If he uses the M/T valve covers he'll be fine. They have at least one hole in them.
