Yeah those are the exhaust manifolds. One end is blocked off and the front has the tube coming to the tractor mufflers. Its pretty cool for diagnostics and that'd be about it. I checked the accelerator pump and nothing. So I'm getting one on order and hopefully that's it. But the timing/distributor will need some adjusting. I'll report back with my findings. Thanks guys.

A 550 is an awful big carb on a 292. Try a vaccum test at idle. If it is below 15 I would start there.
Also the most likely reason for smoke would be worn valve guides or bad rings. If a accelerator pump was leaking by you would have an excessivly rich condition. No?
BTW, The squirt bottle of gas idea is great. Thank you 46Y.
