It won’t look as clean, but it’ll sure be easier to troubleshoot if there is a problem with the valve.
I’m also considering just using a metal pcv valve that has a threaded end and threading a small hole in the boss instead of a full-size road draft tube hole.
Does your manifold have the hole that the vertical tube fits into machined into it?
Does it also have the associated pathway to the opposite side cast into it?
