Hey guys. I'm a new member to Club Hot Rod. I also relatively new at the whole rebuilding, car tuning thing. I try, but am not quite the professional yet. I have a 1975 Mustang II with a 140 in it. I get crap about it alot by the guys, but hey, I have a mustang. haha. Im not sure what ford was thinking, or what I was thinking when I bought it, but hey, its a car and it runs.

Anyways, I have the Mustang II Ghia. It came stock with the 140, but i was thinking of puting something a little bigger in it...possibly a 302. I ran into a little trouble with the rearend tho. I'm not sure what size to use. Thats a separate project though.

Right now, I am driving it with the 140, but it smokes blue really bad. I tried pouring some diesel down the spark plug holes and letting it set for a week before dry-firing it and cleaning the holes out. I was hoping that would loosen the rings and clean everything up a little to help cut back on the smoke/oil usage but it didn't work. Any ideas??? It gets good mileage and i would love to drive it back and forth from college!!!

Like i said, I'm new at this. I hope I'm not too dumb for you guys.
