Personally, I routed two hoses, one from the valve cover spigot and one
from the timing cover into a "Y" fitting. The "y" is then routed into the
valve, which I am using inline in heater hose (it is not an inline valve,
I'm just using it that way, it has pipe thread on one end, and a hose bead
on the other, 1/4 inch or 3/8 if memory serves, and it'll have to serve
since I'm too lazy to walk 9 feet to the garage). From the PCV valve, it's
more heater hose into a 1/4" pipe-to-hose adapter fitting (90 angle) into
the intake of my Cannon manifold (no hole provided on the intake, just a
flat; drill and tap it yourself). I did it this way for max PCV, and
routed it for esthetics. It is very low profile, and I wire brushed and
clearcoted all the fittings to give a polished look. Actually on my car, I
was pulling a bit too much vacuum with this valve on throttle lift, and was
seeing puffs of smoke, never on power or under load, just at "vacuum"
situations. I feared it was guides (although they are new), but jetting
down the PCV with orifices has worked well.
