Hello,
I'm a 69 Tbird 429cui driver from Germany. Ford 385 engines (and Big Blocks in general) are rare over here, so it's hard to find qualified help.
My engine rattles pretty loud under load. Moreover it flares a lot of (probably bluish) smoke from the exhaust, when quickly pushing the pedal all the way down. And for example when the street is wet and I'm idling at a fixed position, I can see residues/thin film of gas on the street right under the exhaust tips.
I hope these information help to isolate the problem and fix it. If you need more information, please let me know.
It's a completely stock 429cui ThunderJet engine with the Autolite carb.
I need step-by-step advice on what to check or do first, because after being able to do almost anything at the body I'm just beginning to learn more about engine stuff (although most basics aren't completely new to me).
Thanks and best regards!
