Default Re: Y Block Rocker Shaft Overflow Tube

Although they Are called overflow tubes they do also provide lubrication for the distributor gear and the timing gears and chain. Just plugging the tubes without making the mods that Tim McMaster suggests will accelerate the wear of these components. I think it was Ole Don who simply restricts the output of the tubes to still accomplish this.
