Have you checked your PCV for proper operation? Assuming of course you are even using one.

 

[73plymouth]

no because i cant find the right size

I would think any autoparts store would have a PCV for a 318 in stock.

if he is putting out freight train smoke its hard to fathom pvc valve. its not oil leaking on the exhaust, maybe?

73Plymouth;our man Shaq may be on to something. Had that problem myself;another set of gaskets,some blue-goo and properly torqued nuts and I was good to go. However...is it possible that the blow-by pressure is enough to push some(lots?) vapor past the gaskets?
