Steam... a few people brought that up when I came back... you said from "contaminated oil" do you mean condensation in the block over the years ends up in the oil? I would think it would not mix, end evaporate out the valve cover breather? Or leaking headgasket causing coolant to be burned in the chamber and the steam goes out the exhaust? But usually when I have had that problem (even very minor) the combustion pressure makes its way into the cooling system and out the relief on the radiator cap... Or condensation in the exhaust? Maybe it took till 4th gear to get the majority of the exhaust hot enough to burn enough to make that much steam - sounds kind of strange - but sometimes anything is possible...

I don't have a ready explanation if the oil and coolant didn't mix (that's been my experience with steam in the exhaust, leaky head gasket). I thought perhaps getting an oil sample analyzed could put your mind at ease with respect to the engine's condition.

Just my 2 cents worth but I thought that the smoke was some late in coming in 4 bbl. opening. Just a thought. Just remember my motto.

Dial up sux!!!! Wow, after about an hour to load, I got to see just over half of it. What I saw was excellent. Great job! I'll have to go to a buddy's to see it all.

Maybe it was a carb problem, or just something with the carb or fuel? It looked like the steam or whatever came from both pipes? My carb set to rich its black smoke, and it definitely wasn't blue.


I know, you broke the sound barrier with that run. Awesome
And great job on the Video also.
