Default PCV Valve?

Hey, sorry, I'm a moron mechanically,

Where on my engine is the PCV Valve?

I told the O'rielly Auto Parts that its the DX Model (which it is..) and the valve they gave me looks like this:



Where on the engine is the valve? There's no hoses coming out of the valve cover, and right behind the valve cover is this hose:



Is that it?

EDIT: If it helps at all, from what my searches have turned up its the DPFI intake...

Thanks..

Yes that is it. To R&R, disconnect the hose and unscrew the valve. The U shaped hose goes down to the crankcase vent box on the back of the engine block. You can test the valve by starting the engine with the hose disconnected. The port on top of the valve should be sucking air.

Your car has the DPFI system, as was stock on the '91 DX.
