I finally got my 242 running (woohoo!) after a long time... I found this beautiful 244 tic at the jy and I ganked a ton of parts from it. Anyways, I put on a new fuel dizzy, tps, got rid of my bov, iac, iac computer, and other crap... It started right up and I was sooo happy, so I went for a test drive, let it warm up, then tried doing a few burnouts... Bad idea... I tried one and I accidentally let it go a little higher than I wanted in the rpms, and once it got there it sounded like some horrible spark blowout... Then there was smoke... And lots of it, for about a mile it was smoking pretty bad, then it kinda died down, so I tried to just drive it a little hard.... Nope, wouldnt happen, it would blowout like crazy... So then I parked it in the garage and it was smoking pretty bad out of the tailpipe...
Now, I didnt even think about adjusting the fuel since it came off of what looked like an extremely fresh 244tic (the gas smelled new and everything was unmolested), so I wasnt worried.. But Im pretty sure its running waayyy too lean... Could I possibly have melted a piston or something? What would cause so much smoke? I only romped on it twice for like 2 seconds each, so... Oh and its running 10 psi... Oh yeah, I got the fuel dizzy off of an 84, it looked a little different, but I dont think that matters does it?
