The PCV has to be connected to the proper port on the front of the carb, just below the butterflies; so IDK what you have been seeing.
If your engine has no blow-by, then just hook up any old PCV that fits and routs easily. This is not rocket science. Your carb will need readjusting. Just make sure you start with a properly adjusted transfer-slot exposure, and modest idle-timing.
As mentioned ; make sure your valve covers are properly and adequately baffled, and every thing will be fine.Don't forget the breather has to work in BOTH directions.
