    the hole in the top of the case is a vent, and i'm betting it's supposed to run back up to the inlet of the carb. i haven't got around to putting all of my stuff back together, but that should be done if you want it to be waterproof again.

    The tube and coupling (WO 801081) are part of the early underwater vent system, installed on M38A1's prior to S/N 53262. It should be routed to the air filter via the dash tee fitting.
