I have a 1991 Formula Firebird (350&700r4). When i start it up it runs great but lots of smoke from the front of the engine! And also i dont have reverse!! This car is making me mad! I know everybody on here loves 3rd gens but if i dont get this thing running i will go back to my mustang! I really wanna give this car a shot so any advise will help me!

Re: Engine smoking?

We know you're bluffing because you used a lower case "m" in Mustang.

You also need to describe the problem more accurately. I would check your trans fluid level, you might have a cooler line leak. Check fluid at operating temperature on level ground, idling in park.
