In the last picture, the little dark indentation near the oil cooler relief
valve is the place for the passageway. If you look at the casting, you will
see it is much heavier and beefed up, especially near the top bolt holes
which would allow a passageway to be drilled at an angle toward the distr
gear.

Hey Bill, How are you?
 
I have a question-well, first, a description then the question.
 
I have a '60 rear housing. I bought it with the intent of using it because
the shop manual says it has an oil passage and insert (jet) to squirt oil on
distributor/crank gear. (Two racing buddies have had problems with high
volume pumps; one ruining the brass drive gear).  Well, the rear housing is
very interesting to me. No GM, no cast numbers, a silver material, almost
like it was cast in a prototype shop. And it has the indentation on the top,
but alas, no drilled passage.
 
My question is, who or how can I or you contact the caveman list, if there
is one, to ask about these rear housings?  Obviously someone would either
have to remember seeing what I am describing as supposed to be there, or has
housings out of a car, off the engine, or at least the pulley removed so we
could see if they any had casting numbers, etc. plus of course, the oil
passage and insert (which requires the generator mount to be removed).
 
What say you?

R

Chuck
