Jamesbo, Nope, no drains in there. I find that a little bit-o-water injection when you're going down the road perks things up a bit. Besides it's a good thing to steam the innards of those cylinders once and awhile. Not to mention that I don't want to get my intake dirty. Ha Ha..
Geez Lousie, First we get a 69 H/O with no foam and now one w/o holes in the air cleaner base.

I sposes I'z gonna have to straighten ya'll out.

Well web rumor [and some Olds sites] says. As an after thought [ meaning some screaming customer came in and complained because his brand new 69 H/O had drowned] The dealership was spose to drill 4 small holes in the bottom of the air cleaners [I think 1/4 inch] so when the water came down the top can it wouldn't fill up the bottom of the air cleaners and dump into the carb.[Think about it, it makes perfect sense]
Dat scoop can consume a bunch of H2O in a down pour.

Zo, take out your top can and you will see that the smaller filter sits inside the first indented ring of the bottom of the air cleaner.

The 4 holes are spose to be drilled in that first ring [flat part] outside the air filter.

But before you do so, verify what I tell'in ya cause I don't want ya hollering at me if'in I'm slightly mistaken.

I'll hunt fer de web site, but I forget where it's at.

May you should ax Kurt, he's forgotten more than I will ever know.

Wait Terry here it tis, Eureka, I found it but it's 5 holes
