where does my pcv valves hose connect to on a 1988 300-6

i'll post a bunch of pics of my engine bay and vaccum tree and all that stuff in a bit maybe that will help everyone. It doesn't seem like i have any where on my throttle body for it to hook too. I've been told like 3 different places to check by 2 different people now so i'm not sure where to hook it anyways lol.

its the fitting circled in red
the bluie is where the vacuum tree was
if your talking about the pcv that you have in the front of the valve cover the reason you cant find anywher to hook the line is its not supposed to be there. there is supposed to be a breather that runs over to the air box theat goes in that hole. the pcv goes in a simmilar hole towards the rear of the valve cover underneith the manifold.

i was talking about the 1 at the front of the valve cover not the rear and the fitting you have circled in red is hooked so i should be ok then sry about the trouble. I had a feeling that that hole in the side of my air box use to have something in it (the plastic peice that fit inside it at the bottom is no longer there not since i got it anyways). Should i be worried about the pcv's hose being open? I went to get a new air box at a local junkyard earlier and couldn't find 1 in good shape so that may be a no go. I'm thinking about just making my own custom air intake for chitt's and giggles anyways so maybe i could possibly incorporate that in to my design some how.

The pcv valve is in the back of the valve cover.
Your talking about the hose that runs from the front of the valve cover, just behind the oil filler, to your air box, should go to a little crankcase filter that sits under your air filter.
It doesn't matter if this hose is connected to a filter, as in cause a vacuum leak but you will potentially be drawing in dirt into your engine. Now if the pcv to intake hose was disconnected, you'd have a vacuum leak.
This is how it vents the crankcase vapor/pressure. Pcv opens, it draws air through this crankcase filter, then through the engine valve cover, out the pcv and back into the intake.

hmmm well i don't have a little filter underneath my big filter lol. The plastic insert that used to go in my airbox is no more since i've had it. so i guess i'll add that to my list of junkyard items needed. Thanks and sorry for my ignorance surprisingly i even knew what that did and for some reason thought it would draw vaccumm. Anyways can't i just get 1 of the pcv's with the filter on top of them to go in my valve cover instead of the stock unit?

you shouldn't need the Airbox. On my '94 the crankcase breather filter has a "nipple" and the clip comes in the package with the new breather element. put the element in the airbox, push the nipple through, push the clip on, push the hose from the fresh air inlet (the hose near your oil filler cap that you referenced earlier) onto the nipple sticking out of the airbox and it's done.
