valve cover gasket holes

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

I am curious, did your '63s have a pcv valve in the valve cover on the right 
side? It seems that the number of hold down bolts and the addition of the 
alignment tabs occured coincidently with the addition of the positive crankcase 
ventiliation system.
