Took the car out today for the first drive. It put down a fairly  
heavy smoke screen during cold idle in the driveway, so I waited for  
that to clear some before hitting the road. As I drove around (easy  
on it) the smoke started clearing up. So I headed on to the local  
four laner and cut loose. After just four runs to rev up to fourth  
gear the smoke was gone. And I couldn't get it come about under heavy  
vacuum (off throttle in 3rd at 6k) either. And the car felt so strong  
that I convinced myself to get the emissions done (instead of a hot  
[free of oil in the cylinder] compression check.) It passed easily  
(results below for those interested.)

I guess the real test will be what it does tomorrow from a cold  
start. -rob
