I think this 327 of mine is supposed to have one but I can't find where it might have been blocked off.

Mine is sealed off by what looks like a freeze plug. I've just added new valve covers with breathers that I routed to the air cleaner to get rid of some of the stinky blow-by. I also found a 'cap' that seals off the oil filler tube (it has a vent tube) that I also routed to the air cleaner. Hope it works. Thanks again...  | | |
