Got Matt's car running this weekend after a few years down. 123 ignition installed and timed. Valves adjusted.

Car is a 1.7 with stock injection.

Its blowing prodigious amounts of white smoke when the engine is under load.

I did not check compression.

Matt assumes a vacuum leak, which is certainly possible.

Curious notes: all the valves were tight EXCEPT the valves for cylinder 3, which were in spec.

Okay brain trust. What'ca got?
