Thanks to everyone that responded.  Jeff, Michael, et al.

I was lucky, the smoke must have been from antifreeze in the exhaust. 

I pressurized the radiator to 13 lbs.  It had only dropped about 2 
pounds in over 1 1/2 hours.   I also drove the Spitfire for about 100 
miles without any smoke, so hopefully I am good to go now.

Thanks again everyone.
