should it smoke?Help
I just got my 72 2.4 to start after sitting for about 4 years.
This is my first P car and I not sure if it should smoke. THe engine fires right up and idle high about 1200 rpm After a minute or so the tailpipe started smoking is this normal?

Does it smoke while driving, or while sitting at a stoplight after warmup? If it does either of those you may have a problem. Otherwise I would not worry.

I have not driven it yet, this is just the warm up, and it seems to go away.
