On the stock air cleaner housing there is a plastic nipple that plugs into the air cleaner housing and connects to it's own special filter in side the housing. That nipple is what I used to do a PCV for my 428CJ with a 406 3X2 setup with custom ram air. Drilled hole in the base of the ram air container that fit on the carbs inside the air filter element and installed the nipple and connected the inlet hose to that.
