Cecil,  A similar thing happened to a '65 Monza convert. with AC that I 
brought back from the dead a couple of decades ago.  I had used the (since 
withdrawn) Viton lathe cut gasket to replace the paper one on the filter adapter for 
the AC cars where it attached to the regular filter mount.  The gasket blew out 
and the air cleaner and alternator pulled in lots of oil.  (The alternator 
fan pulls the air through the housing).  The PVC valve got plugged up as well).  
At least the owner shut off the engine before it had pumped out all of its 
oil.  After LOTS of cleanup, a new paper gasket, air filter, new PCV valve and a 
new fan belt everything ran fine again.
