Hello again

This is no smiling matter.
77 350 (99,000miles) is blowing blue smoke out the exhaust pipe while sitting at stoplights. I pulled all the plugs and it looks like ONLY the #1 plug is covered in oil. B4 i had the intake(RPM), carb(750 man.choke edel.), fuel pump, distributor cap, rotor, wires and of course plugs all replaced, compression was checked on all cylinders and was fine. "When doing compression check I was told to use oil can and squirt oil into each cylinder in spark plug 'hole'." SO I DID
This was when the smoke problem all began!!!
All the way to the shop it smoked. After I started for the first time from the shop it smoked constantly for 20 minutes and 10 miles now only smokes when driving and then come to a stop, NOT when it's in motion or when started up and allowed to idle. I replaced all the plugs ran fine for a couple of drives, and now back to smoking, again ONLY #1 plug covered in oil. Could it be the oil burning off in that cylinder, OR could this be a more serious problem?
Where should I go from here?
