Re: Please I need your help ! (Watch the vid please).

If you do the sea foam or kerosene thing, you should remove the oil pan when you drain it if your engine mileage is high. You will have a lot of crud in your pan, in fact, more than the drIn plug opening will allow out and enough to plug the oil pump intake and your noise will get real loud. Deterge...

It will give off a white smoke as well as it drips onto the belts and is spread around the engine front. You did not mention if the smoke was coming out of the exhaust but this was a...

Re: Distributor issue

Kind of a dumb thing on my part and I was just to anxious but when I changed out my distributor, I attempted to run it with out all the lines and caps on the air intake and experienced exactly what you are saying. Even a small vacuum leak made a big difference as it just would not continue to idle..
