All systems are either filtered or have some type of separator/splash shield (this system's filter is actually a separator) otherwise the crankcase fumes/oil mist would be drawn into the combustion chamber(s) leading to fouling and affecting fuel octane ratings.
Somehow, the filter media will have to be stretched over the nipple opening without distorting it so that it will still seat on the tube filter flange correctly. Otherwise it will suck fumes from the crankcase, especially with this particular design (as it has most likely been doing).
FORD stopped using this design on 57 CAR and 59 TRUCK and went to the more familiar road draft tube.
