Well. I had a ton of vacuum leaks on my intake manifold so i took it off and sealed off all the old unused vacuum ports after adding the Weber. It smoked very little before. Now after replacing the intake manifold. I have a ton of constant white smoke coming outta the tailpipe. I also got a new intake manifold gasket when i put the intake manifold back on. I don't have any coolant leaking out where the manifold connects to the block. So my thoughts are the gasket didn't seal on the interior like it should have and antifreeze is getting into the intake and is being burned in the combustion chamber. I wanted to get some more opinions before i took it into a mechanic. Thanks alot.

You for sure have coolant leaking into the cylinders. there has to be a coolant leak for lots of white smoke. Did you use a new gasket and clean the gasket area before reinstalling everything?

Yep. I cleaned and wire brushed both the block flange and the manifold flange before i reinstalled the new gasket. And now that i think about it. I'm almost positive i put the damn gasket on backwards.

wire wheel on a drill? thats the best way to clean.

Yeah. I meant wire wheel. Not brush. But ya get the idea.
