gday guys

one of my cars is a nissan (yeh i no its a skyline forum but i need help) 79' 280zx done 105,000 km and is in good condition

over the last couple of weeks i have been working on it fixing a water leak problem, iv had the radiator repaired, relaced the water pump, and also replaced some pipes around the engine as well as an engine mount. to do all this iv had to take off the alternator, powersteering, and fan. iv now put the car all back together but when it starts it is VERY rough and the exhaust blows smoke!

its not the spark plugs, can anyone help me???

sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum but im desperate!!!!

thanks pete

Double check everything make sure no vaccuum leaks....no hoses left off etc. I don't know what the ignition setup is on those but if it has plug leads check them for the right fireing order. I'm assuming it was ok before you took it apart and check the engine and manifold earths to the body

My car was in the spray shop for close to 2 months.

Upon starting that up it blew smoke (yes oil smoke) and idled horribly to the point where it needed to be rev'd just to idle.

It cleared up after around 30km's of driving.
