[T3] white smoke


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
