I'm guessin your air filter has oil on it too?Smoking (black)out of the exhaust pipe too? She had to get her motor rebuilt at a whopping $3200! Good luck finding a new 1 barrel carburetor by the way.Best bet is call AUTOZONE or Holley,or you could have an adapter plate made to put a 2 barrel carb on your motor then you'd have to cut a hole in that "sexy" hood and put a scoop on it! I'm not saying that you blew your engine but your rings may be shot and replcing them AND having your cylinder walls bored and sleeved would be smart. Start first by getting a compression test done on your car,That will tell you if your rings are worn out and give you an idea on what you need to do next! good luck!

You better do replacement of exhausts. Your problem is mostly due to loose fitting of the exhaust system and it can be costly. Remember that a good performing exhaust and a good working engine should not allow for a single drop of oil, but utilize it. You need to see a mechanic and if possible replace your exhaust system.
