Yesterday, I went to look at a 57 210 with the 283 and four barrel. There was smoke coming from the breather tube under the engine, which I understand can mean worn rings. But how much smoke is too much?

It's all in the eyes (and nose?) of the beholder... ? -
Smoke from the crankcase is caused by blowby......combustion products blowing past the rings. Check the compression in each cylinder and if it's good I wouldn't worry too much about it.
