Ok so some of you might hate me because of my last post but if you want to hold a grudge its whatever, so i was bleeding my radiator the other day and ran the car for about an hour which is the longest its ran since 93, today when i decided to try to drive it into the garage because i got the brake lines plumbed up i recorded it and later when i looked at the videos it looked like there was a little white smoke coming from the air box/carb. ill see if i can post a gif but let me know what you think it is.

What do you mean bleeding the radiator? Flushing it? Can't get link to do anything.

if there is any smoke it could be stuff burning off the engine with it sitting so long.

Condensation from sitting?

thats what i was thinking but ive ran the car alot of times, and this was a cold start. i know when someone came to look at the car which it hadnt been ran in a while the manifolds were smoking and he said thats why he only offered 1500

then malibujustin is probably right that it was just condensation, if it was something else it would be there every time you run the engine. Also if you just bled the cooling system you may have got some on the engine and that was burning off or if you get the rad hot enough any spillage on the rad will smoke and the cooling fan may have blown it over the engine. Or mice may have taken up smoking and left when the engine got too hot.

Every cleaning chemical sprayed, every fluid spilled on the motor leaves a residue that will evaporate and/or burn off and cause "smoke" at some temperature.
