That is a bit more involved.
There is quite a lot on here about the different ways people have done pcv conversions.
Here is something to start on and if you want more search on pcv conversions.

Also as mentioned go to Greenbird56 and look up his stuff.

"Also have a carter carb. 312 eng.
Draft vent tube."
If everything is pretty much stock - it "should".
You probably have the WCFB with a bolt patter of 3 3/4 x 3 7/8 which is the same as the Holley 4000 on the 56. If so, the adapter in the 56 kit will fit.
If the road draft tube comes off of the valley pan cover then it is just taking that off and installing the grommet in the kit in the hole.
The valley pan with the road draft tube has an oil baffle under it to help prevent oil splashing into the PCV valve.
The idle will have to be adjusted but the power brake booster is not an issue.Here is a list of vendors from different areas which may affect postage.

Duffer,
That is about the same price as from the Tbird vendors.If I were to buy a kit I would go through them. You can put one together from info on here.The one I saw on eBay was 65+shipping and was for a 57. There is a difference in the carb if you are stock so be sure to check with the eBay person if you buy from them and need the 56,

There is a guy on ebay selling the pcv conversion kit for 50.00, so i think i'm gonna go ahead and get one and get rid of the draft tube. Thanks for the comments.

Duffer,
For street motors, and anything but 90+ point show cars there is no downside to a PVC system. Most T-bird suppliers sell them, there's a ton of info here under the search function, and they required them as a retrofit in CA under the early smog laws.
I happen to be a believer in closed systems, but there's nothing wrong with an open one. The only problem I've seen was on here last week, when someone had the wrong PCV valve and low vacuum. Search Greenbird56's response for that one.
If you need more particulars, send me a PM. I've done several of these, as have many others here.
