Default No emissions required in GA for '65

I'm lucky as the car is titles as a 1965 AC Cobra, even though it was built in 1996. As such I don't have to pass emissions here. But, the tuning they did sure did make it run better.

However, I installed the PCV valve on the rear breather port and connected to the vacum outlet on the rear of the Holley 750. It ran like crap...was sucking oil into the cylinders and smoke was coming out of both pipes. I took the hose off and plugged both ends and its running like a charm again. Not sure why the PCV was pulling so much crap through the carb. Do I have the wrong PCV valve maybe? Right now I'm going to put the breather back on and just keep the oil changed on a regular basis.
Thanks!
