finally.
So I finally went and got a small bottle of whiteout and marked the 10BTC and 16BTC lines on my balancer and did my timing. Man was I way way off. I thought I had put my distributor back on the old mark after trying (and failing) to do it "by ear". So I now have it set to about 14-15BTC.
What did you gap to?
Notice a performance difference at 14-15 BTDC?

1. Engine must be prewarmed to norm. op. temp. first.
2. Pour as fast as possible w/o completely stalling out & shut off engine immediately.
3. after 20 mins., restart & rev repeatedly, until smoke subsided for the most part, then take it for an aggressive drive.
Which one(s) did you not do?
Then I waited 20 minutes, started up (no problem starting at all) and would rev and idle every 10 seconds or so until the smoke cleared. Then another drive on the highway for about 15 minutes.
I'll be doing another oil change in 2-3 weeks and I can seafoam again just before then if you think its necessary.
I used a regular inductive timing light, cheapest they had at pep boys. Worked fine. The only reason I thought it was back on its original mark was because there was a clear line between the grime and where the hold down had been covering. I might have smeared it though without realizing it.

Haven't driven it since I fixed it, yet. Had some chores to do.

You have a lot of self control. Doing the upgrade & bump, & not going for a drive!

I did the upgrade awhile ago. Just never did the bump. Ill probably go drive in a couple hours. Need to clean my truck out anyway.
