Really nice find you have there! The valve covers have always been infamous for leaking, needing frequent tightening down and/or decent gaskets. The starters are very much like, if not Ford types, many parts inside interchangeable. Perhaps the smoke behind the car is carbon being blown out - and a bit of the oil smoking on the manifolds. Enjoy the car!
that is one hell of a pick ! i hope you'll have tons of fun with it. always good to see classic American Iron being conserved for ages to come. greetings from germany to America. :)
@CHUUMPASS Well thank you very much. There are not many AMC cars around anymore. It's a bit of a rare find. Looking forward to driving it more this spring/summer!
@pearsonba350 yeah, i'm thinking so! Looking forward to getting it up on the hoist and having a proper look over of it, and of course takign care of the Valve cover gasket as well.
