Dumb question.
I have a 64 292 y block I recently put a holly on. I'm trying to figure out what this think on my intake manifold is looks like a pcv but I'm kinda thinking it's what fed oil to my oil bath filter. Any help I should probably know this.

Well if it was a pcv then it would be confirmed by finding the valve inserted into a grommet in the valve cover with the rubber hose attached.
I'm sure Number Dummy could answer this as I don't think even a CA engine in 1964 had pcv. One thing for sure is one doesn't feed oil to their oil bath air cleaner.

According to ND back on 03-27-2015; the PCV system was introduced in 1961 and was mandatory on all new vehicles sold in CA.
Here is a discussion & pics of a '64 292 pcv system:

Does that look similar to yours?

Wrong!
Wrong!
1961/64 292's with PCV do not have the valve located in the valve cover. First year for this setup was 1965 352.
BarnieTrk: This is...at least...the 20th time I've posted this same 1961/64 292 PCV info over the past 8+ years.
Upper pic (from 1964/72 catalog): With PCV, the 6A665 adapter takes the place of the road draft tube, 1961/63 is the same. The valve is basic part number 6A666.

Hi Fellas,
Probably also considered by some as a Dumb Question --
When I look at NDs posted illustration above (post#8), would someone please explain the functional description of part# 6A665?
I'm guessing it is a small canister containing an oil coalescer utilizing a mesh screen-type baffle inside. Would that be a correct description?
Secondly, part# 6A666, would that be a standard PCV check valve device, correct?
Thanks in advance for any and all explanations,
BarnieTrk

I don't recall hearing about anyone who still has that original part. I'm guessing most were tossed years ago.

No.

No, there are myriad different smog (PCV) valves: 1961/64 292 trucks: C1TZ-6A666-A (Motorcraft EV-1). 1961/63 car 292's use a different valve: C1AZ-6A666-A
The 6A665 adapter that takes the place of the 1961/64 292 road draft tube has nothing inside it, neither do the road draft tubes after 1959.

The road draft tubes used on 1954/59 Y blocks contain a meshed filter screen (B2TZ-6A631-A). See upper pic below from 1957/63 catalog...notice the lower pic shows the 1961/63 PCV pics.
