PCV install

Ok i have been reading here about blowing oil and all the other stuff. i have decided i should probaly place a pcv valve on my 79 1500. currently i have no place to get manigold vaccuum. my canon intake has a place all spot drilled and ready for drilling and tapping so i can get vaccuum.
Is this a good place?
what kind of pcv valve should i use? motor is desmogged and i don recall any pcv on the original set up
what i think i should do is drill and tap manifold, and place some sort of pcv valv in line to the breathe connection on the valve cover

any suggestions or advice?

Thanx
 
1971 and earlier cars had PCV valves mounted on top of the intake manifold. They mounted to a 1/2" tube pressed into the manifold. You might be able to see the original set up in the Moss catalog
 
man ...look at all those typoes....lol
