72 SQ dual 34 webers I noticed today that after driving 20 miles home from work at 70-75mph, my car was smoking a little. I was at a stoplight and I noticed in my rearview that there was a little smoke at idle. I revved it up and there was some more but at higher rpm it stopped. Not a solid white cloud but some greyish white smoke. The light changed and I drove off. I looked in the mirror and turned to look and saw no smoke. I''ve noticed this a couple of times before. Also the oil light would flicker on at idle. . I guess the idle is not high enough to pump the oil? Does this flickering oil light have any value as an indicator of something? I thought maybe the carbs were mal adjusted? any ideas? I recently timed my 009 to 7.5 btdc and set my carbs mixture screw 3 full turns out each. I'm not sure about the adjustment. I tried to screw the mixture in till it runs rough then back it out 1/2 to 1 turn. This is correct right? thanks, Steven Ole Blue 1972 sb Bably Blue 1968 fb stock 99.9% p.s.
