Question Question?? about my 83 GS

I just wanna know, I bought my car this week, I don't know a lot about FBs, I started it this morning, it start very good, but i can see a little smoke on the cat-back, no white fume, but just a little fume, i think it's normal but i wasn't sure, do this happen on every Fbs when the choke is on? The engine runs great, no problem, but probably that it's normal that my car smokes a little bit..

From my experience that is normal. I dont have any problem with my 85 Gs smoking on start up, except when I use the choke. smokes a little but not enough to worry about.
Good luck

You've nothing to worry about there. Hell, most of these cars smoke a helluva lot worse than that Mine smokes like a bitch at idle and low rpms (under load). I badly need to alter my fuel curve though, so mine isn't normal. Point being, smoke on startup is fine.

As already stated, it's absolutely nothing to worry about. It's probably condensation or gas smoke anyways. If an FB *didn't* smoke a little bit on startup, that's when you start to worry lol.
