Thats my dad in the picture holding the fuel pump. I am not sure what he thought about that fuel pump. His first comment was that it is smaller then the stock one but I told him it flowed more. He is more of an Oldsmobile person. In that garage there is a 67 442 olds with a 455.

So when I switch turbos and still got the smoking problem I then figured it was the valve seals. Pulled apart head and changed the seals and it doesn't smoke anymore!!! I still feel like I shouldn't let it sit running in the driveway because it will smoke but it doesn't anymore. This may sound weird but the exhaust doesn't stink as bad as it did also.

I built the valve spring compressor out of a broken socket and a C clamp. Worked really well plus inexpensive.
