I decided to get things moving along in hopes of getting the car ready by the middle of July for drag racing. So I put the car on jack stands and drain the engine oil and take off the filter. Then just as I am heading out the door to go to Checkers to get a new filter and dump the used oil, it occurs to me that I haven’t seen an oil filler cap on the engine.
So I look. And I look. And I look. There isn’t one. I crack open my trusty 1973 Chassis Service Manual and it says there’s supposed to be one right in the passenger side valve cover. I’m guessing my covers aren’t stock because there arent anything on the valve covers except for the Mr. Gasket header evac thingy.
So, where do I pour in the new oil?

I would say that you may have to take the valve cover off….perhaps, you may have “little” breather cap on these cover? It look like a chrome or black mushroom on the cover…Hope this help you out..
