I have a compression tester coming in the mail not here yet. Will do those tests when it comes in. Smoke did not smell of sweet radiator fluid and exhaust pipe let out smoke for about 30 minutes after car shut off which I thought looked like oil burning somewhere.
Also looking into security system module causing problems.

I was thinking hot smoke from oil touching manifold, downpipe or something, thought maybe excess oil got through the cylinders to the pipes. Reminds me of my old 914 dripping oil on heat exchanger type of smoke, but I really don't know at this point. Will try and get some measurements with compression gauge. If I have to I will pull the head off and replace the head gasket, just want to eliminate other possibilities first. Speed and ref. sensors plastic connectors fell apart in my hand when I touched them, they need replaced too. This car sat in Florida sun baking so lots of the plastic is brittle.

'my first thought was that you're FPR fuel pressure relief valve is letting by ,...allowing small amounts of fuel to enter the vacuum system and ending up in the inlet making your idle mixture too rich.
next time you get the engine running remove the vacuum hose off the FPR and check if there is any fuel in the vacuum hose or you can smell fuel . if the FPR is letting by you'll see gas weeping out the FPR vacuum hose spigot.
With the vacuum hose disconnected if the engine runs better then I would replace the FPR .'
