I'm pretty sure that would be OK since it would normally attach to the base of the carburetor. I've also seen carb spacers that have a nipple in them. While you're at it, you might look to see if there's some type of inline filter you could put in too to prevent oiling up your intake runners. I "think" I've seen something like that available.

Be careful after install of PCV as it can possibly suck engine oil out of engine under manifold. There is a baffle available that you can put on bottom fitting that will prevent this. Doesn't always suck oil, but it can happen.
Yes, you can connect your PCV hose to the intake manifold. When you install the PCV valve in your valve cover, make sure there is a baffle that shields the valve from the oil splash inside the cover. Factory covers have these spot welded in place. Aftermarket cast covers, if new, should come with baffles that are screwed to the inside to do the same thing. An oil/air separator is normally not required for the old motors we deal with.

He's referring to the brass or steel fitting that you draw vacuum from in the manifold. Installing it in a plenum area (open to most cylinders) is preferable to installing it in a manifold runner that only feeds one cylinder, but often you have no choice. Not a big problem in my experience. And yes, the actual valve goes in a grommet on one of the valve covers. The opposite valve cover will need to have an 'open' breather to supply make-up air for what the PCV valve is using. Left picture is the PCV valve on passenger side; Right picture is the open breather on the driver's side.

As long as you have air in one side and suck out the other
and re the lean cylinder if all the pcv air goes into one intake runner the cylinder will be lean and not good for it
that is why the pcv is normally plumbed into the base of the carb

What about restricting the hole? Put a plug with say an 1/8" hole PVC's take what size hose 3/8" or 5/16"can't remember, put plug inside it?
