Confused on PCV system for 360 magnum

I recently built and swapped in a 5.9 Magnum. I also had leaks around the valve covers. I did two things that fixed the problem. 1). I ground all the valve cover bolts to make them shorter. I think they may have been bottoming out.

2). Ran a hose from the breather on the driver's side valve cover to the air filter assembly. Before that, I had a PCV to the carburetor from the passenger side, and just a breather on the driver's side. I found a breather with a nipple to run the hose to the air filter assembly. No more oil leaks.

If you zoom in you'll see the hose leaving the breather.

Is there a chance your vacuum advance is on the wrong side of your carburetor?...
