Should I check the fuel pressure?, Just got the engine started and cam broke in... Options

[Bogaat]

I was having issues starting my 74 w/ newly built 2.0 w/ Djet and figured out my fuel pump went bad on me. I bought a newer 75-76 style (way cheaper) and it cranked right up. I broke in the cam, set the timing/idle and am installing my CVs so I can take this thing for a ride! It cranks right up and runs smooth...but it does seem to kick out a little black smoke when it is warm (white when first cranked, but it is cold out). Do I need to check the fuel pressure since I installed a new pump? Anything else to check? Could it be I just need to run this thing around the block for a bit? Thanks guys!

I don't screw around on tech questions ... I'm serious

You want to know how they work and the internals ... go to the library and read.

I've had them stuck open and stuck closed. I've had them fouled (clogged). I've had them where the solenoid is bad and they won't open.

The CSV has been known to be a culprit before. I just fixed an engine where the #1 plug was WHITE ... what would be your guess?

When you're guessing from miles away and don't have your hands on the vehicle, there are a multitude of things that can contribute to a situation. You need to check ALL of them.
