Brad

Do you have a PCV valve? or are you just sucking off the intake?
The "oil seperator" in the t/cover may need to be cleaned or replaced.
That hi tech gizmo is simply a stainless pot scrubber available in the 
Brillo aisle of any food store 2 for a buck. Be sure to buy the course
stainless pot scrubbies, not brillo.
Try restricting the size of the hole on the intake hose.
Make sure you have a vented oil cap or someplace for air to get back in
the engine or else you will suck the oil after a while due to a constant
vacuum.
1275s are very touchy when it comes to PCV. No 2 are the same.
some need alot, some need a little, some need none. I have one of each.
It's a trial and error thing. You just errored.
