    84 Country Squire white smoke out of left tail pipe

    Car is 84 302 CFI with (aftermarket? ) h-pipes. Noticed this the other day on, while the car is running you can clearly see white smoke coming out of the left tail pipe but the right is more or less clean. It's not a pillar of smoke pouring out but its noticeable.

    Car is also running a bit rough. Where should I start looking? Plugs, wires and cap were done recently by the PO.

        Need more info. When is it smoking - all the time, engine warm, or cold? On start up, while idling, while revving, while cruising, while accelerating, while decelerating?

        I've never had to bleed air out of once of these cars. Mine self burp I suppose. I fill the radiator, put some in the overflow, and put the cap on. They always drink a little and work out the bubbles themselves.

          OK, took a week off, now I'm back messing with this box.

          It seems to be only smoking soon after a cold start. Not right away, it takes a few minutes to start puffing out white smoke. Once it's fully warmed up, it stops. Sometimes comes back after a short drive.

          Also I definitely not running right (I think). I feel like the car shouldn't shake when it's idling. It's not deadly, but noticeable. Seems to run smooth once you get driving, but idle is wonky.
