    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

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

    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:
