[Shotimes] When is it enough

[Doug Copeland]

Hi all.
   It's been a while since I've been on here.  Thanksgiving day the SHO went
down with a burned out clutch, and so I haven't been around.  My uncle had a
friend who picked the car up, put in a new clutch, and also replaced all my
gears.  Right before that happened I replaced my valve cover seals, plug
wires, and plugs.  I got the car back a couple weeks ago, and have had some
strange problems that I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on
it.  Ever since the valve seal job, I occasionally get what seems to be oil
smoke from somewhere around the lower regions of the accessory belt.
Anybody have a clue as to what that could be?

Problem two: Last night I was driving down the road in third gear and the
car started shaking like it wasn't getting proper ignition or something.  It
would jolt when i pressed the gas so I would let it idle until it got normal
again and then i continued down the road.  I thought maybe it was nothing,
but then it did it again today.  The fuel tank is at a quarter of a tank,
which is the lowest it has gotten since the beginning of october when i took
it apart to do the valve seals.  I can estimate that I have put 1k miles on
the car since october, but this is the first time the fuel got this low.  Is
this a case of bad fuel, or am I facing something worse.  I think my car
really doesn't like me.
