Exclamation Crankcase Smoke

Hi, I'm new to this forum..

I have a 1970 C&C Corvette with the venerable A4. Had it for 15 years around with no major engine issues. This year for the first time, under load the there is smoke coming out of the crank case center hole.

I've been reading that this may be caused by worn rings and 'blow by' into the crank case.

Also I see Indigo sells a Crankcase Ventilation System..

Anyone have any experience with this retrofit? Does it work?

Does Moyer have a similar kit?

Am I just delaying an inevitable engine overhaul?

Is there anything else more sinister that could be causing this? I'm reluctant to run the engine much until I'm confident it's safe to do so..

Thanks very much for your thoughts...
