This is what I had to do for the breather rear PVC part used from 61-64 to work with a dual quad 257 Edelbrock manifold.

Thank you for the answer on the vacuum ports. Having owned several Y-Block powered trucks, none of them used that rear port any accessory. Makes sense to use the plenum port for PCV valve.

My 573 has a bung at the back I am using for the PCV valve and am curious if yours did not have

That vacuum signal port is positioned the same as the 1957 ECZ-9425-B 4V OEM intake. That port signal is for a brake booster and/or dual stage fuel pump. If used as a PCV inlet, you will experience fume/vapor load-up in the rear cylinders. The vacuum source should be at the carb plenum pad shown below between front and center carb (IMO).

I'm working through some of the same issues with my tri-power install and would like to ask a couple questions. My 573 manifold also interferes with the road draft tube and figure I will modify some type of fitting so I can use that same opening and then a flexible piece of tubing to connect to the valve.  My 573 has a bung at the back I am using for the PCV valve and am curious if yours did not have this port. My other question is; where did you connect for the distributor vacuum advance?

I will try one more time to post pictures of how I ran my tri-power PCV valve on an Edelbrock intake.
 

 

As I remember, "S" code 390s were vented through a fitting on the side of the air cleaner. .

My 56 is a factory open system. After driving in the garage it did have an oil odor. At idle at a signal I could also smell it. I put an oil breather cap with a 1/2” hose fitting on it and the other end into the bottom of the air cleaner with a 90* PVC fitting aiming at the front of the carb. No more smell and the side breather is still there is never wet or drips. I clean it at every oil change.
I’m sure I’m helping the environment.
