To all concerned, It appears that the smoking 318 problem is solved. Thank you all for your help. Lars gets a special thanks for steering me towards the muffler. He suggested something had built a home in the exhaust. While I don't think that was the case, it led me to consider the muffler, which when removed was found to be very very heavy. I replaced it and let it sit and run for about 25 minutes, the car got good and hot but never smoked. I didn't even have to add any snake oils to the gas or oil. Yesterday was a good day. Again thanks all, Larry Gardinier |
