transmission conversion and oil burning 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Hampton on  Tue Jun 3 07:01 CST 2003 [RELATED]

'sorry, I screwed up a minute ago. 'son has decide we're going to improve his '71 142. It has an automatic and he wants to convert it to a manual. Are any modifications to the frame/supports necessary? Also, how much of a job is the conversion. If anyone has advice, I'd appreciate it. He says the car gives off a blue cloud, but only under strange circumstances (his description). It seems to be worst when he turns a corner, especially if he turns left. Is that reasonable? Any suggestions about that problem?
