the bentley manual, your impressions notwithstanding, is generally considered by nearly all who own it to be a (mostly) thorough but nonetheless invaluable resource (don't believe me? do a search here on "bentley" and see how many hits you get). most of what is discussed on this board is covered there.
with regard to the pipe: it sounds like you're talking about the valve cover breather nipple, which has a 1-way check valve in one of the hoses. my guess is that the valve is probably clogged. try removing it gently (it's probably old & brittle), cleaning it carefully with carb cleaner or equivalent, and see what happens.
cars, even older ones, are complex. it takes time to learn how they work. to better understand yours, try reading each of the introductory paragraphs at the beginning of each section in the book. they are written in laymen's terms, and are pretty easy to understand.
