Hi all! Been lurking for a while, but didn't have a reason to post until now...Since buying my 49 8n (front mount distributor) 3-4 years ago, I've run it as-is without much maintenance (besides oil changes, lubes) and it's run well but weak. A couple weeks ago I replaced the plugs, wires, dist cap & rotor. At least one of the old plugs looked like it had never even been firing. Upon starting it up, it ran amazingly faster, much more power, etc. The downside was the exhast started showing blue/gray smoke. Prior to the tune-up, the exhaust was burning relatively clean - never any major smoke. I added some marvel oil and and ran it for some hours and the blue has cleared up - it is just very grey/white. Is this possibly a simple timing or points/condeser issue? I've heard its a daunting task and even remember someone had a web page out here giving tips on how to do a front mount dist tune-up. Any advice or tips would greatly appreciated.
