That is the reason I was thinking about using a valve cover instead. It would be a lot easier ...would the valve cover with the PCV valve installed be sufficient to relieve the pressure in the engine ?? Also would I have to install one in each valve cover using a tee to the carb base plate?

The early systems (FYB-FE-SBF) used a rear draw FOR A REASON. What you are describing came into play in 1965. The draw from a rocker cover will require a breather on the opposite side rocker cover to vent the top of the engine correctly.

To properly retro-fit a PCV SYSTEM to an earlier road draft FYB will require parts from the later 1960-1964 PASS CAR and/or LT 292 to function properly (IMO).
