Sean Jackson Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hey folks: I found that the road draft tube is missing from my ‘48 Windsor. Are all the tubes the same size and shape across the different displacements of 6 cylinder cars, or are the ones made for the 218/230 smaller? I have a lead on one out of a 230, but the length seems possibly a little short for my car since it would end about level with the transmission crossmember. thanks!

knuckleharley Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 I have never heard of this happening before,so it looks like it MIGHT be one of those "good news/bad news" situation. The bad news being the road draft tube is missing,and the "good news" MIGHT be that means the engine was rebuilt and they forgot to put it back on before re-installing it in the car. Yeah,I am an optimist. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid guess having never seen it, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
