Found and bought for a song a set of Buddybar valve covers.

They cleaned up pretty well with vapor blasting and happy with the look ( That air filter will find another home..).

However, someone has removed the steel tube in the oil fill side and the internal baffles from both. Thinking about filling the oil fill
hole -1 3/8" - with a Granatelli Motor Sports Valve Cover Baffle, part # 451000, this has an id of 1" so can get a breather to fit that.
That would cover the oil fill side but what do I use on the PCV side to stop oil from being sucked into the PCV valve? Id of PCV side is 1".

I see 2 sets on eBay. Both appear to have the internal baffles removed. Probably had rockers interfering so off they came. Probably had the longer necks added to the breathers caps.

In original configuration, the PCV valve goes on the left side of the engine and the oil fill/breather on the right.
