"I love this car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission fluid vacuum tube line, being suck by intake manifold.

Emitting white smoke on the exhaust pipe.

Oiled wets spark plugs.

Dashboard malfunctioning.

General comments?

This is the safest car I have.

I've solve this problem by replacing the fitting with diaphragm screwed at the automatic transmission body, connected to the intake mankifold tubing. I find out that the fitting diaphragm was busted, that why the manifold siphoned the Automatic Transmission Fluid to the intake manifold through the combustion chamber. that causes the white smoke going out to the exhaust manifold, and wet the spark plug with oil.

Hi my name is Ronald James Kelly I have owned a Telstar Ghia for 21years (vintage) & never had a days trouble with it, normally I go with Holdens but something caught my eye with this one. I've named my car "PRIDE & JOY"
