Okay - all the cylinders except #5 are 150 PSI. #5 is 140 PSI. I think that's close enough. I guess the blow by is "normal".
Check the PCV valve if it has one. If its plugged it will blow oil out in the areas that you are describing. Compression numbers look OK

Some times a specialist is required. I'm real familiar with Q-jets and have done many of them, however best 400 bucks I've spent lately was with this place.

If you want to, give me the number of that carb and I'll let you know what jets, primary rods, and secondary rods should be in it.
I might even have them.
Rebuilt carbs are usually all messed up. I only worked on the original carbs on the car when I was in business. I have an old Delco parts book on the Qjets. When setup right- they are good for fuel mileage and performance. I had one on my old 86 32' gasser that I use to get 9.5 MPG at 65 mph.
PM me.

Actually, that area is part of the fuel bowl of the carburetor. The rods going down in the fuel are your secondary fuel metering rods. When the secondary throttle plates open, air is drawn in causing the butterfly to open and raise the metering rods allowing fuel to flow into the secondary bores. As far as the high idle, there are two different ways to adjust it, depending on the series of the carburetor. Most common, there is a high idle adjusting screw on the cam, the other way requires to bend the high idle cam rod.

Didn't read any suggestions on the forum, BUT, here is what I did with my GM truck with a quadrajet carb, I went to a speed shop and bought a Holley replacement for the quadrajet, solved all my headaches for over 15 years. Just a suggestion.
