Found a flaw in the 50 Champion, when it gets warm it seems to blow oil back on the exhaust resulting in blue smoke inside the car. Joy. Thought it might be a bad oil pressure gage tubing connection at the oil pump, but replacing the tube with a plug didn't help. Looking more closely, I thought perhaps the fuel pump wasn't tightened down enough so I put a wrench to one of the bolts. Actually, it seems to have been tightened down a bit too much at some point as it seems to be stripped. Helicoil time, and then it's overdrive troubleshooting. I hope to be cruising Sunset by the weekend.
