    Hey, what was the last year for an oil fill necked manifold, and also staggered pattern valve covers?

    Are there any staggered pattern covers with an oil cap provision?

    should be a simple question, hope someone knows

    Thanks
    Chris

    I have a SBC quadrajet manifold with an oil fill tube so I'd say they still appeared in cars in 65 or 66. I also owned an original 68 pickup with a 307 that had a 2brl. with the oil fill tube. I don't know about the valve covers but I've never seen staggered bolts with an oil cap. Sam
