Started putting the flathead together and what a nightmare... destructions have arrows leading to unidentified locations with no attachment points... the exhausts have the numbers reversed and my fan belt was missing a side pulley and belt that I had to scratch... yours has it looking back at the pictures of the sprues by the steering wheel Bucky...

Where it tells you to attach part 44, some snake hose is where the lower radiator hoses go later in the build... I left it off altogether as I can't figure out what it is or where it goes... nowhere in the real pictures I posted...

This pic shows the radiator hose and the breather tube, which is part #44 in this kit:  Here, you can see the radiator hose going into the head. Right behind that is the sort of shiny black tube. It runs down behind the fan belt. It is labeled as a breather tube on my instruction sheet, and is part #44. |

That tube is seen in the pic you posted. It has a little rust on it. The tube goes down the front of the block, and turns down the driver's side, along the top of the oil pan.

Thanks Bucky my instructions show it going across the top of the engine not below the exhaust on the drivers side... I'll see if I can snake it in later... wet paint now...

Cut it in half and glued it in place... lower end doesn't attach to anything... runs behind the exhaust...  |

Looks great, Joe! That tube is a vent for the crankcase. A lot of older engines had some sort of tube like that.

This is step #2 on my sheet:  It shows the breather tube, and a location arrow. This somewhat fuzzy image shows the tube in place:  It runs behind the fan belt. |
