I (the original poster) have a breather that is completely empty.  There is 
NOTHING inside that even closely resembles a washer, a spring, or a scrubby 
thing.  Perhaps this is part of the cause of my oily situation.  All my 
breather contains is air (and some oil).  I also found nothing like a baffle 
under the crank case stand.

As for the breather tubes that I have, one is a steel tube that goes 
straight down about 1 foot.  The other is a barbed hose fitting on the side 
of the breather.  What is the appropriate way to deal with this?

Back on my distributor, I am buying dual Kadron carbs from a place called 
AJ Simms at Low Budget.com. http://lowbugget.com/Kadron_carb_page.html
I hae just seen this evening that they offer to tap the carb for the vacuum 
advance connection.  They also sell an expensive distributor that they say 
has the right advance curve.  Any chance that my stock vac adv dist. works 
well in this application.  Perhaps the FI dist with the mech and vac adv 
works?

Thanks,
Brad Mularcik
