Try and think of it as a circular path that you need to create. There are several different ways to create that path, but the idea is that you need to make air flow through the engine, in one place and out the other. The "other" in this scenerio is into the intake to be burned up in the combustion chambers. You need to suck the crap out of the engine and burn it out the exhaust basically. In order to "vent" the engine of pressure and fumes. So the base of the carburetor is usually where the "sucking" begins going to the PCV valve which regulates that air flow. The other end comes in through the other side valve cover (or in some cases, the intake manifold) that should have a breather on it that is filtered. one way or another that is where the air goes into the engine. You can also run a hose from the air cleaner into the valve cover. Or, you can google examples of a PCV system and that may help too.

That is where we're saying should go to a PCV valve. I think you are calling the valve covers "intakes". the Intake manifold is in the center, under the carb. The valve covers are on the left and the right side of the engine. That is where you vent the engine and fill the oil. The air gets sucked in one valve cover and out the other basically. and furthermore, I don't think it makes a difference which direction you do it in, either. Just my thoughts on it

Many specfic caps you prefer for pcv and a regular breather cap?

Here is a pic of one style of breather. The one on the driver's side valve cover. If you don't need to have a hose coming out of this breather they make plain ones.
You can see the (chrome) breather right next to the driver's side air intake. The hose on the back of my carb goes to the other valve cover, just like yours.

Here is an old pic of the passenger side valve cover. My truck came with the chrome breathers, so I kept them. The only difference between yours and mine is that your PCV valve plugs straight into the valve cover, while mine is in the top of the breather cap (which screws into the valve cover)
