If I removed the road draft tube and placed a PCV valve in a rubber grommet there instead, would their be too much oil splash for it to work properly. The air would enter through a filtered cap in the valve cover.

That might be too close to the splashing oil in the pan/lower-block?

You could place the valve near the top of the road draft tube as was done by GM.

I cut the down tube off of mine and found a PVC valve with a rubber gromet that came very close to that tube size. Just a little adjustment with a razor it fit perfect. I can dig up the NAPA PVC numbers if you want them.

Here is where I picked up the vacuume and here is my PVC valve. NAPA # 2-9208. I was told that this may not be the correct valve due to it is not spring loaded and should be upright. I will have to figure out if I need a different valve.
