Its either running rich, got ring blow-by, or worn valve stems/valve guides, or seals. 'Time for a rebuild and Edelbrock aluminum heads?!

'Saw your other thread after posting in this 'un.

Ring blow-by? Piston rings! But you've just done a rebuild. Like I said, I'm leaning towards a carb adjustment.

Tuned the carb and distributor a bit and it seemed to have been running better and didn't notice blue smoke to much.
