Sorry, no pics.. but it's in the middle of the back of the lower intake. There is a black hose going from under the driver side of the upper intake into the pcv hole on the lower, so you can follow that back.
Good luck.

Get a flashlight - it's really hard to see - but easy to feel. Follow the back of the upper intake down til it meets the lower intake. Right in the middle of the lower intake, towards the firewall - keep going back almost to the back end of the lower, you'll find a rubber grommet - the pcv sticks into it and as stated above it has a vacuum hose running from it back up under the upper where it connects to a manifold vacuum port. Ideally, you should replace the grommet, the pcv, the hose and the metal screen/oil trap that's under the grommet. Less than $20 from you friendly local Ford dealer.
