Default ‘62 Pontiac Down Draft Tube

Anyone have a pic or diagram of one? I’m not sure where it would be or even what it looks like. Thanks

There is a bracket that bolts to the rear of the head and then to the tube. The tube has a rubber ring on it as I recall where it mates with the valley pan.

61-63 is correct, there is a rubber ring where it plugs into the valley pan.
The whole thing can be replaced with a PCV valve if desired.

My 1962 GP has factory PCV. No draft tube. There is a small canister/filter vent? Bolted on the rear of the passenger head. It looks like it’s coming from the transmission. It has a hooked hose exited the top to open air.

I believe that's a breather tube for the slim jim transmission.
