I still have it, but not installed. I have one of those DUI distributors. Had to do all the wonky wiring because it fried my alternator

One last input is that the PCV vent looks to be connected to the carb. The hose going to the top of the cam cover is the inlet, and should be fed filtered air. The original setup likely had a connector on the 'in' side of the air cleaner housing.
I can't tell whether the current is connected to something on the carb(float bowl?) of just on a fitting that allows flow of filtered air. The inlet should have access to air without any vacuum or anything else impeding flow.
If the hose is just connected to get filtered air, ignore this post.

I had one of those breathers on a Pinto. That white fitting the hose is connected to is a 90 that is inboard of the filter. He's good there. :)
