Stephan,
Two holes in the valve cover are all you need. One valve cover get the PCV and
a hose to the base of the carb. The other side will be the fresh air intake and
I can think of at least three ways to set that up. 1. Knockout the hole in your
air cleaner and route a hose up to that. Note there should be a small filter
that goes into the PCV clean air intake hose inside the air cleaner. 2. If you
don't want to punch a hole in the air cleaner, just put the small filter in the
hose and place it somewhere it will be out of site such as alongside the carb
under the air cleaner. 3. Use a filter which snaps onto the valve cover like
cars had before PCV systems.
