Valve Cover Holes

Here is the setup. 87 T/A with a 350 out of an 87 TBI truck. Has Edelbrock Performer 1406 carb and a non computer controlled dist.

The valve covers on it are the stock ones. It has a large hole on the pass side that currently has a PCV valve and a hose going to the open air element. The driver side has a tiny opening that is currently blocked off. ls this ok, or am l messing up somewhere?

The setup should have a PCV (was originally on the driver side) and then its a tossup. I have seen some with a second PCV and then theres others with just a breather tube. That is what I would do, run the other hole into the open element as well.

PCV valve should go to a constant vac. source.

The other side can go to the air cleaner or just have a breather.

on my 92, the passenger side used to goto the breather, now goes to catch can. the drivers side has the pcv valve, going to carb. yes it's been converted to carb.
