Coolant
I’ve been using plain old green antifreeze with motor craft sca additives. Been great so far. I run a little on the diluted side- Christopher Cline

Weird thick smoke before first drive of the day
Also black smoke ya still there at the high rpm but when I’m working her hard she doesn’t get that awful hot smell. Just normal hot manifold smell- Christopher Cline

You are probably right, I’ll just run it until I’m tired of putting oil in then swap motors- Christopher Cline

Weird thick smoke before first drive of the day
Ok I advanced it about the width of the line on the pump it moved the black smoke to around 3,000 and up. Does feel like there is more power now tho. Starts a little harder though. Insta lead of just bumping the starter And it firing it takes about one or two revolutions- Christopher Cline

One odd thing is it will blow black smoke above 2800 rpm no matter how low I turn fuel down. Well aside from it being so low it will barely drive- Christopher Cline

Weird thick smoke before first drive of the day
So I bought it about 20k miles ago. N/A newer cdr 5 speed Manuel. I like to let it idle until high idle and advance kick off. Maintenance before me no idea. I do have a spare motor with 150k on it but I’m not ready to swap them yet. Not losing coolant am using about a quart of oil every 300 miles- Christopher Cline

So after a few minutes idling the cylinder is finally hot enough to burn it all of at once when I rev it?- Christopher Cline

Zf5 fluid color
Turns out the tranny was empty. Not sure how long the PO ran it empty if at all but needless to say it’s full now hopefully she will still last a while but I’m sure that shaved some life off of it- Christopher Cline
