Well my 68 "J" Code 302 has developed a bit a smoking problem. This problem only shows up under spirited driving, like when I'm doing 55 on the freeway and I give it more gas to pass. Also noticed that it will do this from time to time on those 0 to 60 freeway entrances
. This problem really seems to present itself when I'm using the secondaries at the higher RPM range. (note higher rpm on this 3.0:1 rear geared car is 3000 rpm)
The smoke is a light grey-white color and isn't too heavy. The oil level in the car is still good but I suspect that this is a burnt oil problem.
I'm hoping this is not bad piston rings because that means a rebuild sooner than I anticipated.
Any thoughts on the cause of this?
