I have a '73 1.7L. I had the PCV hose connected wrong and now the car is burning oil. The spark plugs get carbon build up and causes the car to not idle. Is there a good way to burn that oil out?

I had the PCV hose to the Plenum, but the car died out almost immediately. I moved the hose to the air cleaner and now runs better but won't idle after 20min of driving. So now the car smokes like crazy, which it wasn't before. I assumed that it sucked up oil in the manifold, causing the smoke and carbon build up. My brother had the car before and replaced the rings, but never broke the engine in because he couldn't get it started. Could the reason be the new rings or what?
