    The tube itself is now rocking back and forth and oil is leaking down and all over the pan. I've looked at this from underneath (don't have a lift) and can't see how to tighten down, or replace the tube. Any help is appreciated.

    Where is the engine block stamp on my 1972, 440?

    I've begun work. Carb off, rebuilding it. Have ID on the manifold. But for the life of me, I can't find the engine block stamp.
