After debating on it for a month, I ended up deciding "What the heck". I measured the oil fill pipe and found that it has a 1-3/8", or 1.375" diameter, and bought a Black Valve Cover Breather Filter, 1-3/8", Part No. 139966, for $8.99 + $5.99 postage = $14.98.

The paper filter has a stainless steel wire mesh folder over the pleats. That gives rigidity to the structure and it is surprisingly solid. I smeared a little motor oil on the inside lip of its rubber grommet base and plugged it onto the oil filler pipe. It fit snug enough that I did not need to install the hose clamp.
