Tom,
That is probably the rocker arm shaft oil line which should be attached to
the piece into which the two rocker arm shafts slip into. Go to a wrecking
yard and pull one. Up to around '58, oil gets to that point via a port in
the rear cam bearing journal and a line which you should see once you pull
the push rod cover.

Subject: [oletrucks] Oil Line
I just pulled the valve cover off of my new (old) 55 2cd 235 engine.
There is a 3-4 inch piece of tubing laying in with the rocker arms. It
looks like it broke off a piece that is attached to the rocker arm
assembly...obviously some kind of oiler. My question is...is there
someone who sells a replacement part or has anyone ever rebuilt this
part..and just what is it called?
Has anybody had a similar problem?
Thanks in advance,
