Here is a site to try.  Then just run a piece of 3/8 tubing to your carb fitting.  That's what I did for a nice clean set up.  I have no problems with drawing oil into the intake or fouling plugs.

Here is a Pic of my set up  Hope you can enlarge enough to see it

Interestingly wide range of responses, Ranch from others feedback I think most would have thought you would have substantial oil consumption without a basket.

Maybe I have excessive blow by or something, when I ran a single breather very early after build I would get a drip or two of oil out of the breather after running a while so I added pcv (without baffle) and it pulls some into intake even after a few thousand miles now.

Since I have room, thinking of basket at rear of intake combined with seperator to hit the problem with a hammer I guess, not sure yet.

Sorry about the miscommunication, my bad.
You will definitely need the birds nest baffle in the basket, they usually show up on Ebay.  If your intake has the hole in the back, it should be counter bored to accept the flange of the basket. 
the way I do it is simple and clean, PCV in the back and a breather cap on each Valve cover.

If you have original BJ-BK dual quads there is no vacuum port. So that rules that out for those running restored engines. At least externally. Despite filling the baffle in the Le Mans cover with the stainless pad and the reduced internal diameter of the vacuum port that runs into the front factory threaded port I still use oil. It's frustrating and expensive.
