smoking 390
By Tim Shride - 08/05/2005 8:20:33 PM; IP 204.60.21.207
I have approx 700 miles on a completely rebuilt 390 on a 64 T-bird (97000 miles total). Drivers side blows bluish smoke. Doesn't appear to smoke at low speeds, but on freeway when coasting, it blows quite a bit. The more I coast, the more smoke. When I hit the accelerator again, I get a large puff of same smoke, then it goes away until I coast again. Doesn't seem to do this when starting from a dead stop, ie at a stop sign. Only happens on drivers side exhaust. Current mechanic says I just need to drive the car more, as rings etc. may not have "seated" yet. He is not the same mechanic who rebuilt the engine. (they don't know each other either!) Car runs beautifully otherwise. Newly remanufactured carb from Pony Carbs works great. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I know just enough about engines to be dangerous and/or paranoid!
