Yep. A little metal tube that ended just above the chain. The 'bolt' on the top is the valve. Turn it all the way in to shut it off. I still have mine on my 73, I just shut it off so there isn't a mess.

Actually, it is the top of the chain right behind the sprocket. At least that is where mine is.
