I missed the hose, yesterday- good catch! In the '60s in California, we started putting retrofit kits on the vehicles that came with road draft tubes. That's what you see there. We bored a hole in the air cleaner housing and routed the new hose from the new fitting in the back of the block. Then, since there were no openings in the valve covers, a hole was drilled in the filler neck tube and a PCV valve was put in line to the carburetor. In retrospect, that was not well thought out, because those carburetors were not calibrated for a PCV valve.
