Good stuff......i'm now looking for a correct spacer too..
Take the Boss 302 version and trim down the metal tube . Once you attach the hose you will not be able to tell the difference. ;) . When using the short tube version be sure to attach the pvc hose first before installing carburetor or risk breaking the tube and spacer like so many did back in the day.

Found another version? Scooped it up at the Portland Swap Meet today. No barb on the metal tube.

My guess it has been trimmed. You don't typically find a tube on a breather cap, air cleaner base, pcv valve  etc. without the hump on the end to make it so that the hose stays on better.
