Question about timing chain cover

On my 75, 460, there is a vent tube coming from the timing chain cover. Is this supposed to have a hose on it? If so, where does that hose go to?

That is probably the dipstick tube for engines with the front sump oil pan.

My 460 engine came out of a Lincoln and has the same thing. If you already have a dipstick tube that goes into the oil pan, just plug off the tube on the timing chain cover (mine is just plugged with silicone).

Thanks. It looks more and more like I have a Lincoln 460 in mine.
