Why is my FB doing this???

Ok I have 84 GSL-SE no mods just stock...she turns on and idles fine but after reaching operating temp she starts doing this, see video

She also begins to smoke a little blue smoke and smells terrible...

I've checked the following:
Wires
Plugs
TPS
rotor and cap
Fuel filter and pump
Vacuum lines
Compression is good

I just want to make sure the motor is ok, before I spend money on other parts.. what else should be checking/testing ??

Thanks

Track the coolant leak. Ive learned a lot wirh the 12a but not 13b. When i had a coolant plug leak the coolant got trapped in the intake and leaked into the motor making it run rough but not as bad as yours. How do your spark plugs look and smell? Does the exhaust smell like your burning antifreeze?

The spark plugs look good, they're not wet. The exhaust is a little blue but only after I rev it past 5000 rpms. Where are the coolant plugs?

If the coolant was burning I would have white smoke... And I don't. I replaced the hoses that go the TB .. So what else can it be

Will it hold idle if you give it a little throttle?
I really still think you have a vacuum leak. Check for it with carb cleaner. Look at all everything from the AFM back.
Igniters/coils can also go bad after warming up, but that's.

If you correctly checked everything on your list, there isn't any reason it shouldn't run. That's why you aren't getting much response.

Sounds like a afm/loose wire issue
