PCV hose routing?

Anyone have an underhood pic of their PCV hose route? My car is a '74...the PCV is mounted in the forward location of the driver's side valve cover. Hose connects to base of carb (in front). Hose interferes with the upper rad hose...

The pcv hose should go over the radiator hose, I have a pic, but the air cleaner is on the car and it blocks the view of the hose. Not sure how to post pics.

It simply rests on the rad hose. It will do no harm.

The PCV hose, resting on top of the upper rad hose, is causing the PCV valve to be (gradually) pulled out of it's grommet. The way it's routed, there is an upward "tension" on the valve. I thought I had it wrong, but I guess I'll wrap some tape around the valve to keep it in place.
