Spent the afternoon with Sweet (a Driveline Moderator) dialing in my engine. We found that the vacuum advance device wasn't functioning. We swapped it for a different unit and that functionality was restored! Add to that adjusting the points gap (I did it incorrectly when I installed them), dynamically timing the engine and adjusting the idle and the engine sounds strong! Plus it seems to run well. It does, however, continue to smoke some. I think it is a lesser amount of smoke, but still there.

So, it runs well, but still has an underlying issue. Too much fuel? Burning oil? Haven't lost any coolant so I don't think that's it. Thoughts?
