Thanks for the info. The number three wire was rubbing on a too-long radiator hose near the dist. and caused a short. The burning smell and darker smoke was coming not from there but low down on the engine, about where the harmonic balancer thing is, near the firewall. So that is a mystery but is gone now with a new set of Bougicords. The slight smoke from unburned fuel in the exhaust makes sense, but not the other. Maybe the partially raw mixture was causing some kind of weird reaction in the catalytic converter that maybe is leaking a bit in that area. Hard to figure. I suspected the spark plug wires but got thrown off by the combined symptoms. I have had misfires before but not these symptoms. Well, that is sometimes how it goes. Thanks
