A little “smoke” wouldn’t bother me. Mine would sizzle/boil when poured in. I still think it sounds like fuel starvation

Re: Sputters or dies after running a while.
Thanks. I'm still not figuring it out. I won't be working on it this weekend but maybe by next.

Re: Sputters or dies after running a while.
You might have a couple issues to sort out... maybe fuel and ignition. Does it run OK when the engine is cold?
My first wagon had a similar problem that turned out to be ignition. It would run fine until warmed up, then sputter out and not restart until it cooled off. I swapped distributors and all was good, but maybe your 83 distributor is failing. I would check for spark again when it's hot and not starting.

Re: Sputters or dies after running a while.
It does have spark even when it's hot and not starting. But it is only stalling if it's been running a while. Distrubutor was my thought prior to swapping it and having the same issue with a diffferent disributor in it.
