Re: Smoke from exhaust after idling

@fredkanter those were my thoughts exactly! Haha it seems to only smoke after idling... The longer I sit the heavier the smoke.... And when coming to a standard stop sign and accelerating no smoke. My first thoughts were carb and spark. I noticed my car was backfiring at around 65mph. Which is why I switched from autolites to m8's. And problem stopped. I will seek the comfort of my friends at California Carburator tomorrow. Hopefully they can set me straight on the carb. I also spoke with Santa Ana's finest today... And got some options worst case scenario. if I remember correctly, a wet test should confirm ring issues right? I still have my compression readings, if compression is the same with a bit of oil in the chamber, shouldn't that confirm bad rings? Sorry guys, It's been a while since auto class 😩
