It shouldn't matter as long as the hose is in good shape and fits snugly onto the valve nipple. You want vacuum pulling on the valve.
Turning over, and over and over, but not starting.

So, in the service manual, it says too, install the flame arrestor to the left cylinder head cover. That connection starts at the air cleaner, correct?Then it says to install the Crank case ventilator valve in tappet cover and connect hose to valve and tube to fitting in manifold. If that is all correct do I just plug off the fitting coming out of the intake manifold? The fitting has always been there and I don’t claim its even there for a reason or am I missing something and its for something? Bye the way, thank you for all the assistance.

Well, you don't have the provision in the tappet cover aka valley pan, which is why you have a thread in style valve in the even side valve cover. So you need one manifold vacuum source connected to that, with any other open or unused vacuum sources plugged off.

Sorry. Intake goes to pcv, whether the valve be in the tappet cover or threaded into a valve cover.

I can't see what you're referencing in any of the pics, but I'm assuming it's probably something for the hot air choke system. A good pic of it would help make the ID.

Yep, like I guessed that's a fitting that a metal tube was connected between it and a fitting on that side of a carb that used heated air to automatically open the choke in gradual fashion as the engine warmed up. You can ignore it. It's not a vacuum source.

Well, what you have already in the form of the baby moto sickle air filter will suffice. That's a pretty common work around, beings that the OE spark/flame arrestors have been unobtainium since Bubba Clinton was soiling dresses.
