    Smoke is white to me. I should have mentioned that the smoke comes from under the center due to the exhaust tube being broken off right before the muffler. Smoking doesn’t seem to change much from start to warm up. Very much appreciate the input and advice. Looks like a compression test is in...

    Well I haven't posted much since introduction, but I haven't truly had a chance to dive into the 68 Fury quite yet. I've mostly been removing pounds of Canadian farm and dealing with rust here and there. I'm currently waiting on some new hardlines to come in, then first order of business is full...
