I have these three parts and looking for the application.
-
The left piece is probably an oil fill for a van or motorhome. The right piece is an oil fill to air cleaner. As far as I know the astricxs grip is a Ford design. Reminds me of a 302 in a old Grand Marquis. Is the center piece thermostat size or intake rear breather size? It looks like a coolant fitting for something like an irrigation engine. Some of those used the water they were pumping to cool the engine.

The breather cap with the short hose goes on the left valve cover to the air cleaner on late 60's Fords. The flange with tube is a road draft tube. I think off a 64 the earlier ones went in a hole in the back of the intake, that goes to the opening on the top at the rear.
No idea what that other thing with the flat cap is for.

The short hose and °45 bend makes it look like it was on a small engine with a large air cleaner. Did the very late 60's through 70's air cleaners cover that much of the FE engine?

My '74 Cougar with a factory 460 has that exact cap and hose.

Puzzle seems to be coming together. Maybe parts from a 460 that was in a van or motorhome. The oil fill extender and the valve cap with short hose to air cleaner. The last piece is probably a draft tube of sorts. Thanks! Jack

That road draft tune isn't off a van. I would think these parts are not all off one engine. That oil fill cap was used from maybe 68 to the lmid 70's but that road draft tube wasn't used past 1965. The oil cap extender thing could be off a heavy truck where the valver cover fill is hard to get at.
