Crankcase pressure in 72 spit

I installed a Weber downdraft carb and upgraded the exhaust system on the spit 
and
occasionally experience high pressure in the crankcase and valve cover.  It is 
sufficient
to blow oil out the dipstick and the hold down holes in the valve cover.

With the hose removed from the carbon cannister it cures the above problem.  
The Cannister
is 28 years old.  Will a new cannister solve my problem or am I looking at a 
bigger
problem than that will solve?

Thanks for any help.
