I had virtually the identical system on my truck for 5 years. Never any problem, until I installed an air/fuel monitor on the truck. I could see that to get it to idle, I had the mixture so rich it killed economy at cruise. If I'm not mistaken you also have a Ford 5.0 / 302 PCV, Fram #FV294? I switched to a Fram FV306, which is for a lot of Toyota engines. It provides enough PCV flow to work fine, but not so much as to upset the carb.
