"it is an auto,i had my modulator line clog up with oil-trans fluid not long ago"
 If thats the case...remove the line and plug the vacuum port to the modulator.Take it for a spin shifting manually ....(you won't have high gear) or just leave it in second,and see if it clears up.

i unhooked my modulator line today and blew threw it.it was clogged,but i did not get a chance to drive it today.i had the carb off today and i saw what looked like a drop or three of trans fluid in the bottom of the plenum.

Sounds like you found the source.

i pretty sure the pcv was sucking oil too.your the man who told me to get rid of it,plus you helped me eliminate other things,but thanks to those guys also.sometimes things take a while to figure out if im the only one thinking,so the more heads the better

Just to clarify though, a PCV is a good thing for a street engine.  If you can control the oil, it'd be wise to run it that way, it pulls moisture out, reduces pressure at part throttle saving gaskets, etc.  Of course if you have it in an oil bath, it's not too helpful, but may want to consider figuring it out on the street after you enjoy the car a bit.

its pretty much a racecar on the street.i change the oil every 500 miles anyway.its not like i take it on trips or drive it to work every day.i just get out and raise cane in it once in a while,never getting over 10 miles from my house.but i do plan on getting the oil under control and maybe hook the pvc back up

glad you found it . I having been working on a 1945 willys jeep for an older fellow and the jeep has a stock pcv system on it . I did not know they went back that far . I guess in ww2 they did not want the enemy breathing bad air , before they shot them . thanks to all of our military in all of the wars and protecting our great country .

A little off topic:
Military used PCV equipment for fording, not pollution.  Ever follow a convoy of NG vehicles that has a gas powered truck in it?  Smell them 2 miles away.  Have a 1962 IHC built 5 ton (M139) w/ a 602 cid Continental which has a sealed PCV system in it; we use for a water truck.  Gets gallons per mile not MPG.  But will go almost anywhere on a jobsite without getting stuck.

that is what I told the fellow I was working on the Jeep for . thought it might be for getting under water , not for smog , keep the water our of the engine , by not getting into breathers for the crankcase .
