My newly acquired '55 Cameo V8 seems to be missing a breather tube at the 
rear of the engine.  It looks like a 1.5" diameter hole in the top of the 
block has a rubber doughnut in it with a .5" diameter hole.  A PCV valve 
might fit nicely.  Should a draft tube be there?  I have read about a factory 
optional closed crankcase ventilation system, would it have used a PCV valve?

Thanks,
