Default i need your help!

I finally found my vacuum leak tonight and figured out that it was the connector hose that goes onto the pcv valve, the previous owner did a half assed job at repairing the leak. I really need some LT1 owners to take a pciture of thier PCV valves and the connector hoses to see if the hose that i have is even the correct hose for my car, because i've searched every auto parts store in my area and cannot find it. I jsut need pictures to go off of, and the pciture of shbox.com isnt good enough. Also i capped off the part that connects ino the hose that Then goes onto the PCV valve, is it alright to drive as long as i capped off the hose? And yes i put a new PCV valve into my car also..

heres what i took of my car..

Are you talking about where it comes off the throttle body and goes into the valve cover? If so you can put a vacuum plug on the throttle body and put a breather in the valve cover

A good parts store will have an assortment of vacuum T's, caps, etc.

You should be able to piece something together.
