that is for the dipstick....I believe he means the filler neck in the valve cover. you can always remove the filler neck and just put a nice cap on there

if you do decide to remove the filler neck make sure you shove a rag down the tube, incase you break a piece off.

Thanks for the responces...

Yes, I'm looking for the oil fill tube on the valve cover.

My rebuilder didn' have any tube on the valve cover when I got it.

Hadn't thought about just puting a cap right on the cover. That might work.

The OE oil cap will work fine on the valve cover hole.

I used just the cap on the valve cover, it was hard to pour oil in after an oil change though. The truck fill tube is way bigger than it needs to be so I bought a GTO fill tube from the dealer for $12

Hey....AVLANCHE

I'm guessing the GTO fill tube is shorter and since I can't locate an aluminum or stainless tube....Thats a next best solution..

Thanks to all again...
