Hi Roadsters,

    Wanted to get a few opinions on black smoke coming out of the exhaust.  I
have a 1969 1600,  the car was cold, still on about half choke.  I pulled into
traffic rather quickly trying to shoot the gap.  When I looked into the rear
view I noticed a big cloud of black exhaust smoke.  When the car warmed up and
choke taken off the car ran fine with no visible exhaust smoke.  This is the
first time I have noticed this since having the top end of the engine redone a
year and a half ago.  What would cause this and is there anything I need to
do?  I have very little mechanical knowledge so try not to get to technical on
me.  I also can't read very fast so please type your responses slowly.
