None during start up?

How many miles on the engine?

White = Coolant
Black = fuel
Blue = oil

if its white and very noticable like white as a paper you probably have a blown coolant gasket... and answer Waynes questions and we can help you out more...

Coolant, not too bad yet (not leaking into the combustion chambers at shutdown yet), it'll get worse with time. Prepare for a rebuild....My guess, anyway

not the car, but the motor. When the conversion was first done it didn't smoke at all. I did the 3" exhaust and on my way home it started.
