I thought most air cleaner PCV arrangements go INSIDE of the air filter element of the housing, not outside. I run a PCV off one cover to the base of the carb on the rear (which it was designed for) and run a breather on the other. My air cleaner housing has a boot covering the PCV inlet which is inside off the element (not filtered). You can see the PCV off to the left here going to the carb base and the breather on the upper right on the other valve cover.
