OK. That's fine but I have a 356 post-war engine that does have one and the parts manual is pretty clear. I also have a 22nd series 356 in my '41 limo and it does NOT have the drain. Go figure. I'll try to crawl under the '50 tomorrow if I'm up to it and get a picture. The valve end is exactly as Owen_Dyneto described with the ball and cotter pin. While I will admit it's certainly possible that the intake manifold on the '50 may be a replacement from an earlier engine, that still doesn't explain the Parts Manual (unless I'm not interpreting it correctly).

The manifold drain was on the prewar engines. I have 3 356 cars and none has that drain, and there is no provision for it...
