Wow... Its clear someone doesn't like anyone elses opinions but their own. I enjoy this forum because its active all the time and mostly the answers are great. I'm also on another forum. Its called the ACD Forum. Thats Auburn Cord Duesneberg. I do not get much help over there to my questions on my Cord. I really don't understand why either. Now some of the Duesenbergs if they were for sale are way up there. Nothing lower than probably 3 million will get you a fixer. My Cord will fetch maybe 100,000 if I wanted to sell it. I don't. I do read as much as I can on all the differant ACD forums. Its funny what someone feels something is worth. Many years ago I needed an electrical shifting switch so my car could be driven. I found a guy that had what I needed. He asked me what I had to trade. I responded nothing. So he asked if I had a heater which I did. So he said we could trade. Nope. I'm not trading but I will give you 100.00... Well that didn't fly. I ended up offering 300.00 but he said this..... Your car will never drive down the road without what I have and my car will never be a 100 points show car without your heater so its trade or nothing. Money can't buy what I have.... :eek: You see these cars are so rare that parts are at a premium and money can't buy whats not out there. So I learned that I don't have anything anybody asks about any more. I ended finding the switch and paid that person 100.00 for it. I also made a friend of him to this day. That was around 1977. I hope fellas like this fella go back to the garndmas basements and fire up their macs. Gees... Maybe this was the infamous jasnap from long ago or maybe a realitive....:rotflmao

Cords are pretty neat--way out of my league, though. Glad you have one and can enjoy it. I take it that you have kept it original, right? no SBC lurking under the hood? please no.

Yes, if getting an irregular burn pattern, blue can be fuel ( black comes from *excess* fuel across the board), and to make things really weird, white can be injection timing, not just coolant.

Read this quote and then look at the post over on powerstroke.org by h20drx. it is exactly the same.:dunno:sly

Im speaking from experience here.

On my old IP/Injectors, I would not get any black smoke but I would get blue smoke when I pushed the rpms above 2500. My truck would also fill the entire back yard with with blue smoke in the mornings.

I think the oil consumption would have to be pretty high to get blue smoke from the lube oil.

Why anyone would ask a question and then flame the first person to respond is beyond me. :confused:
