I recently got my hands on a '77 Spitfire, and among its many problems

before, and if so, what did it take to fix it?

Spencer - you have too much crankcase pressure.  Is your PCV tube and 
valve blocked?  ISTR that on the 77 Spits the breather tube goes into 
the air filter housing - is it clogged?
