    Found my problem

    Some guys much more knowledgeable than me found my problem. The motor seemed to be running rich. The vacuum advance hose that goes from the intake to the computer was full of oil. It could not draw a vacuum. Idles and runs much better and smokes a lot less. Thanks to all that offered advice.
