I drove the roadster to go camping with my family (campsite already in progress). The drive includes a long winding road with many uphills and downhills. The drive back to the highway is mostly downh

Was it blue smoke? If the valve seals are going, increased manifold vacuum under closed-throttle conditions can suck more oil past the seals. When you hit the gas, the oil burns out and you get smoke

Ditto what Gordon said about valve seals - also, commonly could just be a basic running rich condition. THe car gets loaded up w/ fuel, and will usually clear itself out after mashing the pedal again

I hope it's just running rich. I need to give it a good tune-up. It is a whitish smoke, which implies to me oil (at least it's not very black). I've had the head off twice recently (once just wasn't

My car backfires all the time when deaccelerating. I feel like I'm driving a race car from the 60s when they all did that. Funny thing is that it runs, er ran, great, but farted a lot :) In a tunnel

You raised the CR when you shaved the head. Do you use high test? The alternative is to retard it a bit more or you may want to try a 160 thermostat. The head doesn't have to be removed to replace t

I'd think that you'd be increasing the possibility of pulling oil past the valve stem seals into the cylinders on an longish downhill, if you're using engine breaking at all. How long has it been si

Anyone remember Hancock stations? You selected your car from a chart hanging on the pump, then turned some knobs on the pump to 'fomulate' the best fuel for your car. Don't know if the knobs worked,

We used to have SUNOCO stations in the south. Had a dial from 190 to 260 in increments of 10. 7 grades from one pump (???) 260 used to be THE gas for NASCAR events. (We're talking in the 1950's & 60'
