1967 GT500 Oli Filler Tube

[texas swede]

Hi guys,
Did all 1967 Shelby GT500 come with the oil filler tube inserted in a hole in the passenger side front end of the C7ZX aluminum 8-V intake manifold or were there exceptions like Thermactor equipped cars. The reason I ask is that I have seen pictures of cars with them and without them. Also seen manifolds with a plug instead of the tube,

Original cars ether had the straight oil fill tube or the thermactor tube that is in the posted picture. That was it.

Good morning,
I checked two Production Orders and the 402F package (thermactor) had a tube listed and the second 400F
package (no thermactor) had none which probably means the oil filler tube was included with the intake part number in that case.

The thermactor oil fill tube was used on a extremely low number of 427 and Shelby related 428PI Ford car production.I know that NOS C7ZX intakes typically came with a straight oil fill tube. I have never seen or heard of a unmolested NOS one that came with a open hole or plug.
