the pvc valve was good but it only conected to my air breather and not much vacume from there .Maybe the hose is not big enough.

I believe the pcv valve should route to the base of the carb,,but if this is a new problem I would still run a compression check

Sure it's not just a bad o.p switch? I've seen it happen alot.
If I cant fix it, it's broke

Well did  a compretion test 7 of the m are at 120 plus and one at 115 so that all good .Was looking at my pcv valve i only got it going under my air breather.Now i got it going to the intake will have to try that out.
Cudaman what is the o.p. switch.Buy the way i only drive the car for about 400 mile sint i restored it so this is some bug that are coming out.

Oil pressure sending unit. It often fails and starts to spray oil right out of the
electrical connection.

Ok i check it it in the back of the motor and looks clean.The oil look more like it coming out of the dipstick in the front.

At the risk of asking the obvious, do you have breathers on the valve covers? That's a lot of blow-by to puke oil all over. You may want to do a leak down test as well.  :2cents:
