Air is drawn in from the aircleaner through the small hose (now clean air)
into the oil filler cap into the engine and ends up going out the PVC valve
along with any blow by, then into the engine to be burned.

Theo,
If oil is drawn into the oil filler side then why in the original set up do
es the hose run from the filler cap to the air cleaner?

I have the same setup, Mark. On the oil filler side, air is drawn into the
valve cover, so there should be little if any misting on that side unless
you have a lot of blowby due to worn valve guides and seals.
It may be that some rockers are more prone to spray the oil that gets
pumped through the pushrodsb& with the stock Ford rockers I had a problem
until
I put the baffles back in.

The oil is getting drawn into the intake through the PCV system and it's
getting burned as part of the intake mixture. The only times when you might
notice this is if you're idling and the wind is from behind you. On an F4B
intake, you'd notice that the #4 plug is more prone to fouling because the
PCV
is plumbed into that intake runner.

On the subject of baffles and PVC's. I have my PVC connected, but on the
oil filler cap I am using just a screened cap. I haven't noticed any
misting because of this being an open system, but maybe over time it will
show
up.
My questions is: is it possible to be getting an exhaust smell because of
one side being open?
Oh, and no oil consumption with the baffles removed.
Mark
