I purchased a 1981 Caddy that someone filled tank with gas . I have it running but at idle alot of white smoke and pure fuel smell out the exhaust pipe . The pump is all the way towards the engine and I know that is not right Is there a way to time the pump at first start up without using the dial indicator tool? I read about Hillbilly tuning but I dont want to wait till it warms up .
