well, i should have clarified - i do have vents - just in the upper
back of the compartment ONLY. as shown in this pre-paint photo.
that's it. just 4 little 2" dia holes centered in the back. unless
engineered to work like this way back in the 60's, seems hardly
enough to work / be safe. the compartment is at floor level, but
then there's a section under the oil pan that does sit lower than the
floor
