started with a huge cloud of smoke
Got the 81 started today idles nice smokes some didn't get to run it long enough to know for sure but it could just be from setting for 2 years i didn't have much fuel so i only ran it for a few seconds. I didnt want to run it to long cuz i don't know if the omp is working. Lastly the water pump or the main hose going to the bottom of the water pump leaks like crazy water fall kinda leakand the alt. is bad, I have one that might fit from my 1.6 mazda motor as a temp replacement.

the water pump is pretty simple to check and to get off. do yourself a favor and buy the correct alternator, do not use one from another car. you don't want to fry your electrical system you have to run the engine in order to check the omp, so therre you have it. its prob the wp that is leaking. the gasket probably rotted and hardened. got any pics? good luck with the car!
