That's how this truck was, no blow-by in his driveway. Then we get it home, I start sorting this thing out, put it back together annnd blow-by. -But it runs better! 
..My one buddy had a 318 in Ramcharger he used as a plow truck for his property. He had two breathers on it routed straight to the exhaust. I'd never seen that before, but he said the blow-by was so bad that it was sick, said it was the only way. I believe the tail pipe tips were oily even. Ran silky smooth though... Strange.
Right, going to pay attention to how it runs and check on things if/when it starts misfiring. Surprised it's gone almost 1,000 miles without drinking an entire quart, yet has this much blow-by. Given my Town Car and Firebird practically guzzle half a quart per tank of gas with no blow-by, I'm perplexed. Although the Town Car tends to abstain from it's drinking problem right after an oil change for about 1,500 miles or 3 months, whatever comes first. This truck touched no oil for about the first two tanks of gas after the oil change. Could be that shitty Restore I dumped in along with the oil change. NFC, but I probably won't bother adding that stuff again.
How often did you need to check on the plugs in that 302?
