white smoke 1800 1972

posted by  someone claiming to be TurboZamboni on  Mon Sep 20 04:27 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Suddenely my car (1972 1800e w/ b20f) was having a hard time starting. I've had this problem before, but this time it is accompied by a light white smoke that is coming out of the engine. It pushes back through intake manafold, comes out of the oil filler cap when removed and pushes out exaust in smaller amounts.

Plugs, points ect. are in good shape. Before the failure to start, car was running well except for once the night before; the engine died suddenly, not stalled, but died while driving, I turned the starter and it sprung back to life.

Does any one have an idea of what might be going on or what to check on?

Thanks,
TurboZamboni
