Default Smoke

I have a 1980 Camaro with a 321 engine in it. wen i accelerate it blows white smoke with a blue tinge in it. I am thinking this is a blown head gasket. has this happened to anyone else or doesn anyone know what it could also be?

Default RE: Smoke

Sound like oil smoke. On acceleration it sounds like rings. If it did it on decceleration it is valve guides/seals. If the smoke has the blueish ting it's oil. Anti freeze is total white. If it is smoking on acceleration it will most likely be rings weather it just be loose top end or maybe a broken ring. How many miles are on the engine?
