Like said the 6763 is an oil fill tube. A 0BA 6763 is the tube for a 226, 254, and 239 engine. But the -a suffix isn't listed in any of my old paper chassis catalogs or OSI catalogs. The 0BA 6763 was a number change from 7HA 6763. If Bill sees this can he add insight on the impact of the suffix in situations like this? Stu

There's no A after 6763 .. It's listed in the 1948/56 Ford truck, 1949/59 Ford car, 1953 Ford/Merc Canadian truck parts catalogs as:
0BA-6763 .. Engine Oil Filler Pipe / Obsolete
1948/51 F1/F6 226 I-6 / 1948/53 F1/F100/F6/F600 239 V8 / 1950/53 F6/F600 254 I-6 / 1953 C500/600 239 V8.
1949/51 Ford Passenger Car 226 I-6 / 1949/53 Ford Passenger Cars 239 V8.
My O-S-I catalogs state: 0BA-6763 = NR (Not Replaced) aka Obsolete

Okay Bill, our books agree. But short of questioning 3twinridges' ability to read the number there is a "- a" suffix on the part. I trust Ross' hands on knowledge of these engines, so the thing must be an oddball fit to some unknown application.
So back to my above question. Is there some method to Ford's madness when assigning a suffix? We know there is with the assignment of a prefix, so I'd assume a formula existed for the suffix as well.
Maybe this simply gets added to the phantom number category. Like my obsession with the 7RC 1015 mystery wheel. Stu

It could be a military, industrial, or export-only part, I assume those don't show up in the usual books. Lots of flatheads in airport tugs, air compressors, driving water pumps, tractors, etc. The bead on this part pretty definitely points to the fill pipe, a measurement of diameter would confirm. JB, can you stick it in a V8 manifold and post a pic? Doesn't need to be fully seated, I'd just be curious to see the angle. Does it have a dimple at the straight end to align a breather cap?
