Well, made a restriction by using a brass compression. Filled it with solder and drilled it out to 5/64. Helped immensely but still have a slight splashing problem in the filler tube and saturating the breather to the point of leaking. What's everyone's thoughts on stepping down to 1/16 hole size? Or I was thinking about putting a brass freeze plug in the filler tube with some smaller holes to control the splashing yet still letting the engine breath?

The hole leads directly into the carb. Looks like a factory hole, not drilled but who really knows. Gonna make a washer of some sort.
As far as the oil issue. Picked up a brass compression union this am and gonna fill with solder to drill out. 5/32 is not much less than the 1/4 line. Anyone want recommend a smaller size to start with?

Sorry. Thought I had attached a pic. It's a small hole. Smaller than the stud for the wing nut.

Howard. That was all a great help. Now that it's up and running I think there is to much oil going thru the filter. The filler pipe is spewing out oil thru the cap/vent once it's warmed up. Think I need to replump like your first picture or put a restriction somewhere. Any thoughts?

You all have been a great help, and the beast is finally up and running. 2 last questions for now.
There is a hole in the air cleaner lid next to the one for the wing nut. Any ideas. I added a factory oil filter set up. Now when warmed up so much oil goes down the fill/breather tube that is blows back up into the cap and is spilling out? I'm thinking it needs a restriciton somewhere?

Had the same issues on my 1940 120. 21gal original, 18gal replacement. I just bent my pickup tube a little bit more. Yours looks like it needs bent and cut a little off.

When working on these older cars should we keep the old parts? Is there any value? I have a box in the back of every weatherstripping, seals, and whatever. Any reason to keep?
