Today i removed my intake manifold and valve covers to change gaskets and paint and clean up, I install everything and go to start it it runs rough and blows alot of white smoke. If the throttle body gasket is liike half missing and what is left is worn out will antifreesze flow into the intake and mix into the chambers and burn with the spark and is that what the white smoke is? and why it runs rough. i have check every hose and every vacum line and every plug everything i took off is in the right place i have no idea what to do. Right now my cars at my work in the parking lot i need to get it running tommrow HELP

If you removed your distributor, did you double check your timing with the spout connector off? Did you mess with the TPS on top of the throttle body at all? Are all spark plug wires on in the correct firing order?
Yes, coolant can get into the motor if the TB gasket is broken or missing. Did you remove the TB and put it back on with a broken gasket?

Put a new TB gasket on cause it sounds like u just dumping water into your motor. Then pull all your plugs out and crank the motor without the plugs in. Now clean ya plugs check ya timing nd you will prob be ok.

TPS=Throttle Position Sensor. It's the black sensor located atop of the TB. If you didn't mess with it, then don't worry about it.
