Checked the oil passage returns and no blockage. It has to be the fact that too much oil is flowing out of the rocker arm where the return tube should be. Thx for your input, all input is appreciated. Tim Fl.

Did you check the other side for the return tube?

Thx for your input, all input is appreciated. Tim Fl. The Tubes do not control the amount of Oil coming out but they do direct the Oil to the return Holes in the Head. As mentioned they also locate the Rocker Shaft so it does not turn blocking of oil into the Shaft.

I don't think adding the tube will change the amount of oil coming to the head, just redirecting it. Also, if you are seeing smoke on the left side only, you have oil coming out an exhaust guide on only one or two exhaust valves in one plane. If the valve cover was filling up with a significant amount of oil, you would have smoke on both sides instead on only one side. Sounds like you have oil being pushed out the exhaust guides and burning in the exhaust manifold and tail pipe until the engine gets hot enough to burn it off, and more going in on deceleration when the engine speed is lower and temp is lower. A simple check that is not so simple is to remove the exhaust manifold and see if there is a stream of oil residue coming from one or more exhaust valve guides. If the spark plugs are clean, the rings are good, if there is oil in the exhaust port and manifold, the exhaust guides are bad. Joe-JDC

You could also pull the valve cover and look through the valve stem springs , you may see a seal that shifted or moved out of place or has possibly cracked allowing the oil to pass what you describe is most of the time a bad exhaust valve seal just try touching the seal though the seal with a thin wire it should be fairly tight in place if it spins its your problem. I know you have drain tubes on the way, maybe you want to take a look at the seals while you are waiting for the tubes to arrive. You said the car sat for 8 years maybe the seals are hard. The engine was repaired after the lifters broke but were the heads rebuilt or resealed . I am just trying to help

It has to be the fact that too much oil is flowing out of the rocker arm where the return tube should be.
When the engine was gone through, the builder must have modified the oil delivery to the rocker arms, increasing volume. For whatever reason, the tube(s) were left off. Most likely as a result of reading all of the theories of pressurizing the rocker shafts.
The practice is valid but the flow rate has to be determined and allowed for.
