My new dual exhaust has white smoke coming out of one side

I have just recently had a new dual exhaust put on my 65 Plymouth Belvedere. As long as I have known it has always blown some smoke, but now that it has a dual exhaust the smoke is only coming out of the left side. Roughly the same amount of pressure comes out of both sides, but the left side just blows a fairy wet, white smoke. Can anyone tell me what is causing this and how I can fix it. Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate it.

Sounds like you have a worn valve guide or cracked oil ring. Even a drain back hole on the left head could be clogged.

You didn't say if you need to put water in it occaisionaly or not(wet smoke?), If you do, it may be a head gasket. Do a compression check. Good luck. K.C.
