A rich mixture produces excessive carbon monoxide (CO). If you are getting excessive HC, most probable cause is bad ignition system,
like a worn coil, wires, spark plugs, etc.
As per the oil, at removing top cover check if the baffle is installed and, the o-ring on PVC pipe coming at the right of cover.

<<My 67 110 PG Monza is running after too many years. Runni9ng rich - lots of HC's from the tailpipe (jets ?), but that comes next.
Right now, oil is spritzing onto top cover like tiny raindrops - too fine to tell but apparently oil - I can't feel or see the source.
Is this a symptom of the crankcase top cover / PCV / oil switch leaking, blowing out through the fan ? (oil switch doesn't appear wet)
I'll be re-sealing top and bottom soon enough, but want to make sure there isn't something else I haven't considered yet that may need sealing too ?
So far, oil cooler, PCV and pushrod O-rings, valve covers, oil pan, top cover, etc (full set from Underground) to be done soon,
Haven't done this in a while, need a little refresher course
Thanks in advance !
