Looks like the crankcase pressure line for the remote oil tank. Is that originally a oil injected engine?

Yup..vacuum operated oil injection system...makes total sense. Like vacuum operated headlights on my old 76 corvette...they worked flawlessly :roll: :lol:

I know it's pressure not vacuum...but it's still 60's technology lol.

yes it was an oil injected motor, i removed the gear, got rid of the pump and tank, i didnt think anything was hooked up too this fitting on the ones i pulled apart.. i suppose ill just block it off with a piece of gas line and hope for the best :?
