The fuel is new. Most fuel related components are new between the tank and FD except for two polyamide lines. I call the smoke white. I have zero experience with labeling smoke colors though. I don’t think I can begin to accurately describe the smell.
These are the old plugs. Obviously mismatched. I have since replaced them with proper Bosch replacements.

There may be several things to sort, but in the beginning the most important components of the CIS, WUR & FD must be proved okay. So we're back at the beginning.

I already had the FD rebuilt in the Fall. Wasn’t by a CIS specialist per se, but it was someone who specializes in Porsche, Audi, MB, and VW of this vintage. Certainly had familiarity with this part.

I would ask you to do one more thing:
When does your fuel pump start running? When switching ignition on?

Fuel pump comes on when key is put to run position, one stop before cranking for start.
