There is smoke coming from a crack in the exhaust manifold
Hi
Most unusual for the exhaust manifold to crack, normally any leaks are usually due to faulty manifold gaskets, or the down pipe sealing ring.
I am sure if you lubricate the fixing nuts well, before removal of the manifold, this is what you will find.
Good Luck !

does not fire where? at the plug? have u checked the wire, cap..hmmm..77 ..how many miles on that motor? have u done a compression check? could be burned valve, fouled plug bad wire worn cap and or rotor ..check the obvious first. start at the plug..if it's not firing, swap it for a known good one.. if it doesn't fire, swap the wire, if it still doesn't fire swap cap and rotor..if that doesn't solve or identify where the bad component is.or if you find you have fire at the plug but still misses on the cylinder.... start looking inside.. run compression check... if it's low squirt oil in cylindeer and check again.. if it comes up drastically.. it's worn rings..but if it stays low probably worn valves. but i'm thinking its somewhere between the distributer and the plug.. good luck...
