the other fitting is for the vent line going to the air breather for deep water fording, if you dont install the line get a screw on vent fitting off an m38a1 tank.

Yes it is. I really need to buy that green m38 book. But $60+ is too pricey.

Ive posted on the wanted section. To see if anyone want to trade some parts for a book. I have the all American wonder volumes, They proved invaluable. I do need to get the book, But have other priorities.
