What he said, and to add, the 305 and 350 engines were pretty well known to develop Valve Guide Seal leaks. Just another thing to keep in mind..I would not worry about smoke right now. Likely the exhaust clearing out for now but in another thread you mentioned black soot. The plug may be fouled and not 100% since it did not have the plug wire on. Put some new plugs in. Do a compression test and do an oil change to see what happens with that tick noise.
Definitely will. Thank you. I just got the new cap and rotor today. Install tomorrow. I took it for a ride today, and IMMEDIATELY she started running better and the white exhaust stopped. No water in the oil either. She ran good once I was rolling and seemed to improve as I drove it. Now she's idling much better, no more smoke and the lifter isn't ticking as loud either. But I will follow your recommendations sir! Thank you much and I'll keep y'all updated.I would not worry about smoke right now.
