Well, he specifically said gas fumes and not exhaust fumes. There is a big difference in the smell of each.
Yes, I know that. Sorry to step on people's toes, but the exhaust fumes are just as common in these cars as are the gas fumes.

That's true, but you need to know which fumes you are smelling to diagnose the problem.

So, as I stated EARLIER, sometimes a rich running engine can put out EXHAUST fumes that have the smell of GAS from the unused gasoline in the exhaust. Sometimes it isn't as easy to differentiate the smells to begin with making diagnosis more challenging.

Thanks for all the advice, will check all things you guys mention. And it is gas fumes that I smell, not exhaust, just to clerify. This car is just gorgeous, my first muscle car. Past few years been into Imports, but the '65 had always been in my mind, just never the funds to purchase. I think for 9K, and interior all redone and in mint condition, is a steal. Will be a regular here in forums from now on.

See.....people ain't stoopid. They can tell the difference in the smell from partially burned fuel and raw fuel.

Funny, when did trying to help someone become a fight? I guess I'm at a loss for words with this line of thinking.
