1979 Vent hose connections??

[maxdog]

I'm posting this again because I think my original post was " lost " in an older thread.
My 1979 2000 has been completely desmogged by a previous owner . There is a grey thing mounted inacceibly above the fuel pump which I suppose is the crank case vent valve At present the discharge vents to the side of the engine . Should it be connected to the carb inlet ?? There is a much smaller hole[ 1/2 inch ] in the lunch box filter , between the filter and the carb throat which should be a sensible place for the crank case vent to connect to . ??
Is this OK ?
Why is the vent valve so big ??
Do I need a flame trap ??
Can I replace the whole lot with a simple N American PCV valve ?
All the schematics I have found are vague about what goes where

No one knows how the crankcase vent is supposed to be connected ???

On the FI it goes up to just in front of the throttle plate, so I would expect that same sort of arrangement is made with the carb'ed version?

On my car (74) the crankcase vent is connected via a fairly large hose with a flame trap to the air filter. The stock air filter has a fitting that the hose slides over.

Thanks
I will connect to the air filter housing .
Downstream of the filter and upstream of the throttles seems a sensible place . It's certainly better than venting to atmosphere .
