what is the correct crankcase breather setup for a 1985 federal?

Mine currently has an elbow on the valve cover connected to a straight pipe. That pipe is connected to another pipe above the air cleaner that is a single piece and connects directly to the top of air cleaner? Do I have one to many pieces here?
I'm looking at AZ******** and all that is coming up is 3 pieces, an L shaped pipe, and two elbows.
However if I do a search on 6170180182 that I found referenced on the forum, I get a different part that says it is not compatible with my car. However in google pics of air cleaners that look like mine, this looks like the part.
Thoughts?

While I'm at it, does the drain tube that is next to the turbo drain tube at the top of the oil pan, have some o ring? Anyone know the part number?

Thanks!

Here is a picture of a fed 85 engine compartment.

1985 300D vacuum crazyness.

The part# you posted above is an after market flat hose, eliminates and cleans up
the original MB set up.
I had one several years ago, but the way it ran over the air cleaner it wore a hole in it.
Here is a picture showing it.





This is the way yours is set up? Hope that picture expands when you click on it.



There is a O Ring that goes under the air filter housing on the tube that sets in the drain tube to the pan.
Can`t seem to find in doing a search.

Yes, my breather tubes look like that small pic as well as the one of deliveryvalve's. Any chance you know where I can get the piece that sits on top of the air cleaner? part number?
