it heats up and starts to smoke... im almost positive nothing is leaking, no drips on the ground. could it just be **** burning off?

Foxracin

Yes. Indeed. That is what it is. It will clear up eventually.

ctgreddy

so you got it running eh? how long until we see the smoke burning off the tires

FuzzyDiceRule

when it decides it wants to start again and will let me time it...

probably tomorrow

yeah i cant get it to start anymore, and the check engine light is on... i adjusted the idle set screw so that it would actually not lope and die

jtmustang

probably just crap burning out....

ohhh and um no more cel's and idle surge and wont start bs for me....lol...

Explosive

Get it going and take vids.

FuzzyDiceRule

yeah, i need to, but i dun know **** about timing, baiscally i gathered from doing it that clockwise with the dizzy is advancing it, and i made a mark on the 10 degrees, and its a little past one of em, so i think its good, but it seems like it fluctuates to almost 20*

also its running rich, it needs a tune bad, but im stoked it seems to be working, =P

FuzzyDiceRule

what causes a car to not start when its hot

yeah, i went back after a while and it refused to start...

primetime5.0

same here and I have EFI!

FuzzyDiceRule

never mind on the not starting, im not getting spark, and im guessing its because one of the ears broke off on the positive batt cable... which is where the MSD box positive is (that ear) so im guessing the box isnt getting sufficient power
