So I have a PCV set up on my 292.  The PCV valve is on the rear of the valley pan and feeds back into the intake.  The fresh air goes from the air cleaner base to the oil fill cap but it is the open element type with perforations under it and a hose connector. 

I am getting oil up under my hood near the hinge from it.  Should I have a closed cap with just the hose attachment.  

Should the other valve cover be vented some how?  They are the finned Spotlite Customs finned covers.

What did I done do wrong?

Thanks.

With an open breather cap there wont be any vacuum. Do it at the oil fill tube first. Like I said I added a leather washer I made to seal odd the dip stick. 
gates for a 64-67 Thunderbird and Mustangs with California emissions …..and a gates 31070 for later GMC 3500 pickups work. Stant lists them too. Try Rock Auto for numbers. I had to paint mile black. But there are chrome ones and several other  ones with a Fordoval embossed in.
