The Ford Barn

I know about the drain pipe, ford canceled that in early 35 due ti the crank case ventilation system. Question is does this particular main cap have a lower seal or not? If my engine is a late 36/early 37...maybe there is no seal. Is there a seal for this cap or not? Ready to install the pan but need a definite answer. Again...there was no drain pipe from 37-41. None from 41-48. Does my main cap fit a slinger seal or not? Maybe my 37 is an earlier model where a lower slinger seal didn't exist like the 36. Guess I have an early 37...36 had no seal at the main cap. I'll put it back together the way it was.
