I'm using a Volvo "fixed orifice" crankcase vent system on my Thunderbird.

It consists of a plastic nipple that goes to the air cleaner along with a small hose that goes to manifold vacuum. The plastic nipple happens to fit into a standard valve cover grommet. That's all there is to it. The car currently has a Streetmaster intake so I drilled a hole in the back to fit the grommet.

Just pop the nipple out of the grommet for the oil fill.

Works great, it's been on the car for over 10 years now. Even had it when I had the M/T Power Ram intake on it.

I even have this type breather on my Corvair powered Manx buggy. It now leaks less than ever!

Road draft hole didn't work for me! It vacuumed a couple quarts of oil out the headers all over the track.
 I then went to the oil fill hole and ran a cap with an offshoot tube into a tee and two hoses. It didn't look as nice but didn't suck all the oil out. It still smoked more than i'd want so back to just open breathers again.
