Info needed: 1967 M38A1 Lubrication?

Hi Rob....thanks for your previous reply....OK....where is the bell housing?...is it the flywheel cover/housing?.... the thing attached directly to the back of the engine?....if it is, there is a hole at the lowest point but its larger than 1/8 inch....its closer to 3/8 inch....and I have already plugged it up (yesterday)so no dirt/dust gets in. OK....so if I take a drive with the plug in and return home and take it out...what should I expect?

Also, I want to take out the PCV valve for cleaning.....do I have to take off the round thing with the bolt in it that screws into the side valve cover?....and all the plumbing that comes with it just to get access to the PCV valve?

Also, the fording valve that you are talking about...is it the valve beside the PCV valve/fuel pump...someone has disconnected the actuating wire/cable but the arm/lever is parallel with the PCV valve and its related plumbing but I can move the arm up to vertical....where should the lever be? and should it be disconnected...or reconnected?

I would really appreciate pics of the bell housing hole location and of the valve you are talking about if possible.....but I do not have access to viewing pics yet.....any chance that you could email it too me....I would understand if you prefer not too.

Sorry for all the questions...but I really do want to get a hold of this loss of oil issue as I cannot afford to rebuild the engine.....so if there is a cheaper solution......

Regards,
