I had the same problem with my 79 after converting to a Weber. There are
some pretty detailed ways out there but I simply put a small vent hole in
the cap and then ran a hose from the breather on the valve cover down the
side of the engine to just past the oils pan. Cut the end diagonally with
the long eng facing the front. This will create a vacum through the hose and
help to vent the engine. Get a little messy on the undercarrige but at least
it's not all over the compartment.

Mine was doing the same thing, but I vented the breather into a fitting
mounted in the bottom of the Weber air cleaner so the blowby goes back thru the
engine. It stopped the oil pumping out of the dipstick and added to my sense
of
environmental decency. (Right!!!)
