The vented battery caps were STANDARD on ALL '65-9 Corvairs, and meant 
to vent battery vapors out of the air stream of the heater. 

And just so you don't think the Corvair was the only GM car to use a vent 
tube on their battery, allow me to introduce into evidence Exhibit A, the late 
1990s Oldsmobile (Alero, I think) with the 
"$140-under-the-back-seat-battery".... I sold several of them while I was at the dealership a few years back...
Oh, the vent tube would crack and customer would have to purchase the $25 
vent assembly.... strange bird, I say.
