Thanks Mark! Next time I’m on the left coast we will definitely need to go junkyarding....
76 ROYAL MONACO BROUGHAM IN KB8 ...NOT MINE...YET

Sooooo giving the obvious lack of tune and poor carb condition what would you say is causing the excessive blue (oil burning) smoke any time you rev it above 1000RPMS....nothing at idle but under load or revving it up blue smoke...valve seals or burnt valve? Also have the D/S cornering lamp lit all the time while running. Power to ground as it dims in time with the turn signals I am guessing....and so it begins!

Mark,
I think that blue one with the white top is the car I passed on!!! It was in Courtenay in the 90's.
I would say valve guides and seals would be a big contributor to the blue smoke.

It's Not Going to Shift Itself
Based on my own experience with a 76 400, I'll go with seals.#6 plug fouled up really quickly on mine.
I would refresh the heads for sure and you won't ever have to worry about them again.
It can go on and on....since you got it apart. Cam, lifters, push rods.
I ended up just putting a performance crate engine in mine.

Soooo couldn’t take it any longer and switched out the off-centre horn pad for a spare Doba version - at least its centered. Also put the new Eddy AVS II on. Good news the bog is gone bad news is it has a miss or stumble that causes a popping through the exhaust at idle. Haven’t adjusted the timing yet but this rough idle makes me worried.....
Interesting fender tag.....

Get her into the ball park and and give her some miles and a couple tanks of fresh fuel and new fluids... then worry if she doesn't clear up.

That second fender tag is an inspection stamp tag. As the car progressed down the line, the final inspector for that area (frame, etc) would apply his mark to the tag.

Popping in the exhaust is usually ignition miss fire and gas lights in exhaust.
I could be wrong but my last 2 problems with this have both come from bad spark plug wires ( me being a cheap *** and in a hurry) took the time with new wires and both cars cleaned up.

Next up plugs/wires/cap/rotor absolutely. They haven’t been done in a while. Also getting some blue smoke on acceleration so valve seals/guides likely.

Start with the seals.... fairly easy and cheap.
