Your carburetor is running way rich, or your piston rings are fitting like slop. Is your engine a smoker?

Check the mechanical fuel pump for a leaky diaphragm, the fuel can dribble into the engine via the pushrod opening.

either because of the stock valve covers. They don't look like aftermarket Or maybe if you hear a ring you can turn the key on and let the fuel pump prime it self then start the car if its getting louder then i would definetly replace the fuel pump.

It's a spammer Pete. They put in some incoherent text, with a link at the bottom to some website that we don't even want to go to.
