SMOKE!!!!!!!!!
My car, when hard accelerated, comes out a dark grey smoke ( I think its dark, I saw it at night)and it smelled different then burnt oil. But only under hard acceleration, in normal circumstance its clean.
Any ideas? Tks. 74 2.7L CIS |

Sounds to me like you are running rich at full throttle. I don't know enough to tell you why, but I'm pretty sure that's it.

I, too think its too much gas intake (if indeed the smoke is dark). Could you have a dirty air filter that is causing an imbalance between air intake and gas intake? Check it out if you haven't looked at it for a while.

Yeah, I would say it's rich running. Mine has been doing the same (about to recalibrate everything this weekend following distributor rebuild) but you only see it at night. I think it's because the fuel has less chance of evaporating in the cool night air, especially here now it's winter, and it looks greyish at nite rather than black in the day. You can definately smell burning oil- totally different.
