Didn't take long to lose the curve neck. Any idea what that "thingy" is on the driver side valve cover?

Looks like a push in breather on a piece of hose with an elbow going into the valve cover, probably in an effort to eliminate some oil blowback when you immediately lift after full throttle runs...

At this time in the cars life approx 1974-1975 the owner raced the car one night with the 2 barrel in Formula B-3 Stock in AHRA. This was a Holly 2brl carb (pre Dominator) on an adaptor plate on 4 brl intake. The next night he then switched to 4brl carb to run at a different tracks both in Iowa. This car was on owner number 4th at this point in the cars life it had been a drag car by every single owner since new. It raced in various classes and configurations over its life as a race car. It was raced In Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa etc. What amazes me is that every owner raced the car but never cut it up.
