Hello all, I am new to ih8mud, though have been lurking for a couple weeks. Seems y'all have a great site here. I have a 1980 Toyota pickup, pretty much stock. It does have a weber 38 carb, 35" tires, w56 tranny out of an '85 runner, fror t case mount, and several other little doo-dads that I've put on it. The only thing that came on it is the weber. This is the first carbed vehicle I have owned, and with some minor mods, the weber has performed well.
Anyway on to my problem....
I am getting a lot of oil out of the crankcase vent. A buddy of mine runs the same engine on a race car, and doesn't seem to have nearly as much as I do. I tried T-ing it into the pcv valve line, but it just soaked my air cleaner / carb in oil. I also tried running severel loops of fuel line, to try to catch as much oil as I could on the walls. Still get oil spraying out. Is this normal? Does it mean excessive blow-by in my cylinders? Is there something I can do to eliminate it? I haven't been able to pressure test it. I don't have the tools. I did have the head off a while back, and the cylinder walls looked ok. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The coils I put in. I believe there are 3.
