RE: need help with a 67 390 mustang

if it is smoking antifreeze, here is what I would do. assuming you live in a warm climate,I would change out to straight water in cooling system, and drive car short distances. The water should be regular tap water. After a few short drives, pull the plugs and see if one has more brown color showing on porcelan. If so this is the cylinder that is leaking. you might even try using a larger radiator cap, like a 15 or 16lb. if the engine gets antifreeze into the oil, it will hurt the bearings. I haven't had this problem with my edelbrocks, but I have had porosity holes in front of FE manifolds, whch let antifreeze into oil pan. its possible a valve seat wasn't installed correctly or might be something amiss by a valve guide. I know my edelbrock heads showed obvious core shift when they were cast. Hope this gives you some ideas.
This thread, so far...
