I used a carriage bolt, but a freeze plug would work best.

Crankcase Breather O-Rings
(Ford) F4TZ-6769-A (small; seals screw head)
(Ford) F4TZ-6769-C (large; seals breather adapter to valve cover)
(International) 1824452C2 (large; seals breather adapter to valve cover)
(International) 1820784C2 (small; seals screw head)
Regular (not OEM) large o-rings are 1.25" ID and 1.5" OD
Just to add another idea.
I have mine vented right next to my 6637 filter. I used 3/4 heater hose and ran it to the filter where I tied it to the filter mesh. I attached a cheap Mr. Gasket valve cover breather to the end at the 6637. The intake still sucks the fumes right through the filter so no fume smell in the cab and I don't have any oil messes.
Been running it for about 1500 miles now with no problems. I can get pictures if anyone wants, its not the prettiest but that wasn't what I was going for.

Its not needed, it just keeps the oil vapors from accumulating in your intercooler, which will make it less efficient.

I did a temporary CCV mod last spring after installing my stage 1 injectors (and took some pics) not very pretty but it works and I haven't really seen a need to change it yet. I haven't noticed the bad smell or smoke or much vapor venting.
I turned the dog house around to vent toward the firewall then I removed the original rubber 90* and slipped on a short length of 3/4 in. black poly pipe used for irrigation or sprinklers systems.
Then I added 3/4 in. poly 90*
Then about a 2 ft. length of 3/4 poly.
You can see where it ends and vents down by the frame. There is just a little evidence of oil on the tube and frame. I may fasten or hang a small plastic bottle at the end of the tube to collect the oil just to see how much I collect, I have not noticed oil dripping from it or spots in the driveway. This was super simple and gets the oil out of the intake.
I am not suggesting this way of modding the ccv just sharing information

That's how I have mine also Rich. Little different, but more/less the same. Some route the hose over the booster so oil can drain back down it into the vc if they have oil dripping. Mine looks just like yours.

I did this mod to my truck but havent plumbed a hose to it yet. Right now I have it vented directly out of the doghouse. I didnt notice any smell.
Is heater hose ok to use or does it swell up from the oil?

I still like the idea of running a pipe forward, then a tee, and branch it off to outlet above the two points on the radiator core support where it mounts to the frame. Constant spray of oil, they'll never rust....
