What Derf said... I've only been fighting that problem for 5 years on my
de-smogged 1275. A big help (but not total cure) was drilling out the fuel
pump land on the left front bottom of the block and venting positive
crankcase pressure through a hose, filter and pipe fitting... After trying
about 10 PCV valve set ups I gave up on that and plugged the intake manifold
port. At one point the city hired me to fog for mosquitoes..... ;-)
Cheers!!
