ran car for first extended time in 4 months....

well....my project car hasnt really been run in about 4 months longer than a few min.. thats what i was told by guy i bought from. anyway...i ripped apartt then entire front end today which i am rebuilding and decided i should run car a bit.. battery is dead and wont hold a charge so i must jump her...starts perfect...

question is after running for few secs black water (looks like) starts dripping out of exhuast and car when u rev it ...stutters and comes near stalling.....plus exhuast smokes white ...not heavy...just noticable.... so i shut her off....changed the oil which looked like sludge...changed filter..and put oil in bottle to check for antifreeze.. i cut filter apart and she was clean which is a good sign. i change air filter which was nasty to my FIPK....and started her up again. smoked a little for a few minutes and water dripped out but then stopped....idle's real smooth...now when u rev her she doesnt starter and sits pretty...sounds nice too..

question is ...anything i should worry about or do u think there was just water in the exhuast or fuel? i know gasket on exhuast manifold has a leak and needs to be changed too.. im feeling good about how shes running now... seems real smooth...but just wanna make sure nothing i should be looking for...

thanx
