Edelbrock High Flow Intake Help. EDL-3860

Hi guys. Here is another confusing situation. I have a EDL-3860 High Flow intake base. I noticed that there was 2 different EDL-3860 intake bases. One has the fitting on the driverside which a hose connects to for the PCV valve on the driverside. The other (mine) has no hole for a fitting for the PCV Valve hose. So what the heck am I supposed to do? Could I run a "T" inbetween the brake booster and the plenum so that the vacuum can pull out the crank case fumes?

Top picture is mine (yellow arrow)....

Here is the fitting that is used to connect a PVC hose.

I don't see any reason why you can't tee of the booster hose.

That was the early base, it had a drilled and tapped hole in the runner.
It lined up with the hole passage in the base.

Dyno Dan, I've read so many topics about you. But never did I realize that I lived fairly close to you back in 2005-2006. I use to live in Rialto, then I moved to Hemet. Unfortunately I moved back down to the Imperial Valley. Did you feel the 2010 7.2 Easter Earthquake? That was intense. I was only 40 miles away from the epicenter. Wow. What an earthquake. Anyways, would it be okay to t-off the brake booster line close to the plenum for the PCV valve?
