Burning oil odor resolved

Upon examining the vacuum hose and "emission system" of Lizzie, it was decided that the vacuum advance hose should be diconnected as part of the investigation.

Upon disconnecting the vac advance hose, the engine ran smoother, and less smoky. When Lizzie was first acquired, the vac advance hose was plugged, and disconnected. Perhaps the vac advance unit on the distributor had other problems which caused the smoking when attached.

Test drove Lizzie without vac advance, and it ran much better now.
