Sounds like it is overfuelling....get it set-up by a good tuner asap or it will be a new engine time

With tiff here mate

Where abouts are you in the country?

Then we'll find a good tuner near to you.

i think i have found the problem a small multi plug next to the dizzy was very loose and arking a little it was cutting power to the pump i have secured this and the smoke has stopped and the car feels to run a lot smoother,does this sound like the cure ,i will still get the car set up though as it could have altered the fuelling.thanks for the replies guys .
