Mike,
Let us know how things go when you do your compression test. I'm curious to see what you find. I used to get a "puff" when I got on mine to. I am not sure it wasn't just spent fuel or smoke or both, but my car would do the same. Only when I really stepped on it hard however, and it never seemed to happen any other time. 91 GT can give you more detail but from what I understand if your rings were bad, it would smoke constantly, not just under hard acceleration. LOL, Green LX's advice isn't bad at all. You could just keep banging gears on her. If it aint broke, don't fix it theory applies to these motors. And why not, Ford's had 30 years to dial the 302 in.

Dan
