Re: Kimes' 1937 Super 8 1500 Touring Sedan Needs TLC

JW, the twin road draft tubes are the result of some tinkering by an owner, it left the factory with a single road draft tube on the rear valve tappet cover. Also note that by the way they are facing, neither will ventilate the crankcase with forward motion of the car and hence were non-functioning.
Among other things the rework of the 320 engine for 1937 (or was it 1938?) involved eliminating the timing chain-driven generator and replacing it with a fan belt driven unit on the opposite side of the engine, and relocation of the road draft tube from the non-manifold side (see pix below) to the rear valve cover.
