1963 Other Peugeot Models Blue smoke

Replied on October 16, 2008

Jim,
Indeed, the distributor is moving a "bit". I haven't noticed that before since I have bought a new distributor, new self induction, and new wires.

I will try to find some way to fix it, see the result and be in touch. Thanks. Sam

Hey Jim,

I had to work on the "bushing" the entire week-end. The engine is running good now, good spark fire at low rpm for each plug. However, I still experiencing the black stuff deposit on the spark plugs but this time after more than 1 hour with a very light blue smoke.
May be the distributor timing is not correctly "accurate"?

Yes I made some adjustment to the carburettor.
Since I have no time othe than the week-end, I can check out again the carburettor. I've got the owner manual from e-bay and start to read it.
