Default Valve cover breather

I bought an autozone breather filter but it's got a real small rubber fitting on it with a hose clamp. Too small to seal up my valve cover. What kind of breather do I need for the valve cover, and does it have to be a specific size?

it should be the same as the inlet on the TB, pretty sure it is 3/8 or 1/2 at the most on the valve cover side

Decided to go with this one

I've got tall valve covers so I doubt it will see any oil, just need it to fill the hole.
