That's a '62 - '64 Open Element lid that has been modified to accept a PCV/breather tube of some type. Possibly to meet new for the mid sixties California emission laws. It was fairly common to see pre emission cars modified in some way to have a tube running from the air cleaner to a oil cap/breather. I can't remember the details, actually I never really knew the details, about the Cali laws which were the first in the nation I believe.

FoMoCo actually had a tube installed for various cars but typically it was on the bottom plate not stuck on/in the top lid. Again I think these were for cars sold in Californina.

This thread, so far...

 That's exactly what it is - possibly for a '63 Sprint Falcon. [n/m] -- Mr F, 05/22/2003
