I have not done anything, but cant say what the last guy did, Engine had been idle for awhile prior to him having it. engines are my weak spot.

what colour is the smoke blue black or white and what carbs are you running on

simply loosen the dizzy (13mm bolt) and turn anti clockwise a small amount, then when running move it untill you get a smooth idle (this will need doing properly with a timing light in the end) but should get you going, VERY common on most Pinto's that have stood for a while.
