1968 was the first year for holes in the valve covers on small block V8's.
Thanks

For PCV I would agree but not for oil fill is it?
1968 marked the wholesale use of the Closed Positive Crankcase Ventilation. No more open breather caps, air enters via a rubber hose from a filtered source (air filter). Small blocks still took the blowby fumes from the back of the intake manifold, and the oil filler tube was in use this last year. From the 1968 brochure:

No matter how much you push the envelope, it will still be stationery.
Who opened up this thread? It was closed for years and added to in an organized fashion for reference purposes with on topic content.
Hmmm. When I added the 327 photo's I wonder if I opened the flood gates? If so I'll sort this out tomorrow with the addition of a new thread. Sorry for any confusion I may have introduced folks!
