Default plumbing a PCV using a TP C7OE-9425-A intake

I'm setting up a elect vacuum pump to handle the brake vacuum needs on my Tunnel Port SPF Cobra. Apart from that my other vacuum requirement is a planned pcv system.

I would like to run a pcv but unsure about pcv options. I can plug a pcv into a valve cover and run a breather on the opposite side VC or I can put a pcv into the block off plate at the back of the intake.

This TP 2x4 intake has an equalizer tube cast between the 2 carb plenums. If I plumb the pcv into one of the two ports (R or L side) situated within this equalizer area of the intake beneath the carb bases. Will that be acceptable?

I would like to run the pcv out of the back of the intake draft tube plate because it is a cleaner look though it may be more efficient on the valve cover. Any thoughts on that welcome too.

Thanks Ray

Trying to put up pic showing the port I'm referring to.

I would run a PCV valve in one cover with a small air/oil separator inline, then plumb it to the fitting you've pointed to in your pic.

On the other cover, two LARGE breather hoses, one to each aircleaner base.

Gary are you talking like a Moroso air/oil separater or something even smaller?

My air cleaners are Stellings and the bases are to small to access.

Yes Ray, something like Moroso would be fine.

Can you plumb the other side to a separate breather can?

Just an idea to keep breather fume residue off your valve covers.

You could also plumb the pcv to the back as you say, and have a breather filter on each valve cover. The engine would then be more symmetrical.
