    Haven't been able to get to this because my son fell ill and it's been a nightmare. Good news is he is getting better and hope to get this problem solved soon.

    Smoke out of carb

    I was just eye balling the crank movement vs rotor movement. One set of rockers did seem more out of spec than the others but most were fairly close to spec.

    Smoke out of carb

    Distributor was replaced with a electronic unit 200 miles ago. Spark plug #5 had some carbon build up on it. Timing chain has approx 1/4 to 1/2'' of play before dist rotor moves. When it does finally start runs well for a mile or 2. Had to get it towed home yesterday. Will do a cold compression...

    Smoke out of carb

    I think the 225 /6 is done ? Hard to start and puffs of grey/black exhaust smoke out of the carb. Im stumped on this one. Tried 2 different carbs and checked the valve lash and spark plugs. Anyone have this happen before ? possibly a cracked head allowing exhaust into the intake ?

    Just an update and a Thanks to everyone for the help. Drove her around a bit today and there is no smoke at all. Not sure if it was from sitting 2 yrs,bad gas or the can of restore just plain worked. Scheduling an alignment next week.

    Your right, it does have a clatter at idle but goes away when revved. Will check the valve clearance soon. Added restore to see what happens. I just want the motor to last a bit longer until I can put together a replacement.

    Bill I checked the choke plate and it is fully opened when warm. Not sure what you mean on the pcv valve are you talking about the plug the pcv valve goes into ? Vdart I adjusted the valves via the running method a few years ago and it hasn't been driven much since. Once I get the control arms...

    Warmed it up for 30 minutes and nothing changes. According to my high tech 1964 gauge it doesn't overheat. Rebuilt the front end so she's not roadworthy until I get the alignment closer to spec to get in the shop. All the plugs looked the same which was black,some with a bit of silt on them. I...

    Just out the water pump seal... Just started leaking,I have a new one in the trunk ready to go in. Smoke color is hard to determine but it does smell rich.

    Help me dignose please.

    I put new seals in the nos carb and set the float level before installing. I'm no carb expert so I could have missed something. Plugs had a little black silt on them from running rich I would guess. The idle is high when starts and drops when warm so I'm guessing the choke is operating properly...

    Wet test with a couple squirts in the clylinder. #1 11 dry 121 wet #2 100 dry and wet no change. #4 114 dry went up to a whopping 160 wet, maybe squirted to much oil in there ? Didn't test the others yet.
