Breather to PCV

I am certainly one who is not all there... lol. I had a few too many hard knocks to the head to be normal anymore. But I manage some how.

Anyway, so the breather sucks through the carb breather? Maybe not all the time like at idle, but like when you are around 5,000 rpm, I can see that it could suck through the air filter because of the lower vaccum or higher pressure above the carb and lower in the manifold. Is that how that sucker works? So while I technically don't have to have the valve cover breather sucking out of or being sucked out through the carb breather, it wouldn't hurt and could be actually better to have it that way?

In my fog I kind of remember finding that elbow somewhere on the internet and I ordered it but it hasn't gotten here yet. It was a Mopar 5/8" one. I have searched all the places I usually go looking for the order but can't find it and I didn't get an email receipt. I hate that.

Anyway, I guess it will be okay to drive it with the breather not attached to the breather, which sounds odd, but I can continue my search as time goes by. Maybe I can find one somewhere.

But just to be sure, it is okay to run it with an open valve cover breather not connected to the carb breather temporarily?

Thanks,

Yes !
I have been experimenting w/ these set ups for a while now , w/ a vacuum gauge from the valve cover to inside the car. I cant figure out for the life of me , why my engine runs like its got a vacuum leak when the air breather is hooked to a valve cover breather ,when I`m running the pvc ports on the back of my throttle body thru an oil catch can(experiment
no oil has shown up). The other side , I`ve tried the system like in the drawings RRR and 512 posted , and because st hemi`s came that way from the factory.
I currently have a screwin oil cap on one side , pcv to the throttle body on the other, and have the best crankcase vacuum that way , 5'' , up to about 4200, it should drop off at wide open throttle but I havent nailed it and tried to watch the gauge at the same time yet.
The crankcase vacuum is steady , and darn sure has helped stop my oil leaks , when I take the screw on cap off while idleing u can hear it suck in very loud and feel the pull on the cap as I remove it .
Just wondering what it will do when held at wot , like on the strip , that is where the breathe hooked up would work it seems . But cant get past the vacuum leak it has when hooked up that way .-------------------thots and comments welcome -------------
