Howdy,
I have an 84 with an 87rte in it. Drove it 3 hours yesterday and 2.25 hours into the drive, the truck began smoking on the downshifts. Idle would stay at about 2K until I blipped the pedal, at which time the idle would go to normal and the smoke would quit, mostly. Engine seems to be running smooth and under power it doesn't smoke. Only smokes dropping speed and downshifting. Smoke is bluish white and smells of fuel and is fairly thick.
I read KC Jones recent post about the throttle. I will clean the throttle body and the little dioflop thingy when I get the truck back. Anybody have any suggestions on the smoke?
Thanks.
