Well I regapped them at a hair over .040 seeing as how this is as high as gapper i had! when i start the car when it is cold, it idles ok now. aceleraytion feels better too! that is weird, i didnt think gapping would have an affect like that. when i drove the car after i regapped them for 10 minutes, i pulled it in the garage to check the oil. when i pulled the dip stick out smoke came out of there a little! the temp outside was about 90 degrees and the cars temp was about 190 when i turned it off. it was about 3/4 quart low. Would this cause smoke to come out of there? and is this normal? thanks simi, this should be my last question (yeah right!)

hope you had a good fourth of july amd car is running good
