Hey, what's making all this smoke? 200 1980

posted by  someone claiming to be Dharvey on  Sat Jun 1 10:42 CST 2002 [RELATED]

My old wagon, NA/standard, has 110k on a rebuilt B21f with Jetronic-K injection (everything standard equipment). It uses a quart of oil around every 600 miles, but no visible smoke...

EXCEPT--sometimes when I stop just for a moment, say at a stop sign, then start off, the engine knocks loudly (the only time it knocks, otherwise it's happy on regular) and it lays down a major smoke cloud. Makes me look like a one-man ozone hole.

Then I can drive away and it runs like there's no problem. This happens only after the car is thoroughly warmed up. It also doesn't happen most of the time--just at random moments when I'm not expecting it.

What's going on here?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Doug Harvey
