just getting this burb going after 8 years of sitting, it has the 292 straight 6 . the problem im having is it wont idle if the pcv valve is hooked up. there is a good steady amount of smoke that comes out of the valve cover when running. what does smoke coming from the valve cover mean? i adjusted the valves 1/2 turn past the 0 lash point.
