The cowl drain tube (from the cowl vent below the windshield) on my '47 truck has about a 1 foot long tube that empties right on top of the valve cover. I never thought much of it until I realized that the valve cover on this truck has three small slits that vent it. Never noticed them before because they point aft. This valve cover (on the 216 motor) isn't one with the vent/oil add pipe that sticks up from the cover. So....does anyone know what the original configuration was? The cowl drain ends right over one of the three vent slits. Bummer. Thanks.
