Ok, so here are some videos that may help someone ascertain what is going on. Video 1 : '64 Dream 305 at warm idle. Slowest steady idle I can get. I think it sounds pretty good.

Okay. So our Dream's been running well in the year (and about 500 miles) since I finished the restoration. I did notice a while back that oil has appeared at the spark plug hole area on both sides. Then today, while my wife and I were out for a little ride around town, I was trying to diagnose a bra...
