Need to add oil in a 50 GMC with a 228. I am new to this and could not find an obvious oil fill location. Do I take off the oil breather tube and add oil there and then replace the tube?

Isn't there a cap on the top of the road-draft tube?

Hi Isn't there a oil breather on the top of the valve couver? If so screw it out and add oil.

don't remember anything on top of valve cover. there is a cap on top of the tube but it at least does not pull off easy because I tried and then noticed that the whole assembly raises off the engine were I see the hole into the block.

It doesn't pull off. Hold the road draft tube and turn the cap about an eighth of a turn counter-clockwise to remove it.
