I got my car running and driving today. Problem is WHITE smoke everywere... Great Oil pressure..


I put new plugs in started it ran it up the road and my plugs are pitch black, car was sitting for over a year, will bad gas cause this, and miss like crazy. Like it was burning no fuel, fuel acually came out of the long tube headers when I first started it

Sounds like head gaskets, set initial timing (spout out) at 10 degrees and go from there.

White smoke sounds like burning radiator fluid. If it was black, it would be running extremely rich. Blueish to gray smoke is usually oil. And of course if you see flames, run. LOL

aghhh I seen flames, it leaked gas out of my header, wtf?

This thing is so outta time? Should I just take my valve cover off and runn the piston all the way up?

Also it seems like I am not getting enough spark, so confusing? Any shops on here want to work on this thing? Not going to lie it is a lil ruff, but I have nothing in it so I would like to fix it.

it is black colored smoke, last night it looked white, but there is no residue and smells like raw gas.

Did you drain the tank or running on year old gas.If you didnt drain it then the gas that was in there has turned to varnish and is very hard to light.Empty the tank,use fresh gas and set the timing so that YOU know its correct.

Yea it has varnished.If you ran it them all your injectors and fuel lines are varnished.It will reak havoc on pretty much anything.It kinda goes back to an unrefined state.Kinda like kerosine.
