275 part

can anyone ID this for me. oil filler / ccv came from a 275 2 cam but I cannot see it in any parts book. I think it is from #8961

This is strange in that the ccv tube points exactly down.
I have not seen this on any other car but here it is.
and as I said I suspect this came from #8961 -- don't know where this car is now.

 

I mean the oil filler cap points exactly UP and the ccv tube points straight down.

 

Hi Howard, I believe the 275 oil filler has a vent incorporated in its casting.

Thanks John I'll post a better photo.
EveythingI hav seen in parts book has an ofset but this part has none -- it goes straight down.

 

Better pics from more angles?
what is dia of the threaded bore, thread pitch, and how many holes on the o-ring flange-only 1, or 3 or 4? What is dia of the o-ring spud?
Is it alloy? "elektron"? or steel?

I've seen this part-or VERY similar/close, but not on a wet sumped, street car....threading and dia will tell me if its similar.....plus mounting holes....

 

The one on the left is off my 330. the other os the orphan. the 330 one and every other that I have seen has an offset. the orphan one goes straight up.

left is now bottom! the threads are the same -- takes the polished alloy oil filler cap

 

pic shown earlier shows a fine pitch in the bore...the usual fitting used as a connector: is a double ended male with a hex in the middle and a flare on one end....remember, a lot of cars ran the oil through the interior of the frame tubes. Fuel, coolant, AND lubricant....I know I've seen this thing before, I just cant mentally place it!(creeping old fart issues!)
oil cap stuff is external slip fit with hose clamp, correct? this is: non-pressurized circuitry...

the fine pitch, threaded bore suggests its part of an oil line circuit-likely under OP pressure, or, scavenge pump pressure... this part looks like-with out having it in my hands or my questions clarified-can also be part of a dry sump plumbing circuit, a pre-Daytona era part....(similar parts used in comp cars, and i'm NOT talking of SWBs and that class of comp cars...) This thing is bugging me, I KNOW I've seen this/had it in my hand in last 10-12 years...I don't really do many street cars per se, this is why I'm so sure its a part I've seen. Racing cars are only similar to the street cars(for example: in 1957, you have 14 louvre TdF 250s as "street/racing cars", and "Team" cars were 315s/335s....similar is being wishful....
I'm gonna sift for pics of some dry sump comp cars I've had to rework over last 20 years, its been a while, but not like: "i saw it back in the '70s"
Otherwise, I must be getting senile...

 

335s I dont think it can be oil line circuit-likely under OP pressure as that thin O ring would not stand the pressure.
I still think it is just for oil filler cap / crankcase ventilation --- but which car as there is no offset?
335s if you message me I will video it for you and send it back email

 

Howard, your part is off a late 330GT with A/C. Part number is 22914. See late 330GT parts book Tav. 38 item #10.

 

No doubt about Brian, the walking parts book !

 

Daytonaman-I have had some serious medical setbacks the last couple of months, so my apologies for not getting you a response(i can't figure out how to email you-the site is different that it used to be and I am having a hard time emailing other site members! Any coaching on this would be appreciated!)
An oil return fitting on a dry sump tank is a LOW pressure line with machine threaded fittings as in the pictured item...This would be a pre-275 GTB era item....hand made oil tanks and all....

 

335S I think Brian has answered this. I sent you a PM anyway. Thanks Howard
