X2 on on the first two comments. The concept is there needs to be filtered air going into the valve cover which becomes the source for the PCV valve where the air is sucked into the back of the carb. You have cut off that air supply and you have no crankcase ventilation. Some of the original FE engines had the screw in breather that had a hose that went to the underside of the air cleaner. To add oil you just do a 1/4 twist like the cap you have, and set it aside with the hose attached. I have an old one laying around somewhere. I will see if I can find it and take a picture.
Added:
I looked but couldn't find it. Another option is there is a grommit that goes in the cap hole you have so you can use a push in breather. It just covers the ears of the screw in cap. Not ideal but it works.
