You changed the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe because its smoking

Are you using fresh fuel?

Before you do anything, you need to do a diagnostic evaluation on the engine.
1. Compression test all four cylinders.
2. Check the timing, plugs, cap, points, condenser, rotor.
3. Check the valve gaps.
