Reply to "Smelly Cat....Smelly Cat"

You guys are a PANIC! Good stuff. I too, like the "vintage smell" of an old car (which it does indeed have), but this smell is definitely gas. And the garage smells even when the car is cool. The gas tank is solid (no leaks), there are no visible leaks from below (near fuel pump). I have a Holley Double Pumper, manual choke, mechanical secondaries. There IS some discoloration around the intake manifold (Edelbrock Performer 4V). Could be some carb gaskets leaking ever so slightly. I'll crack the window to get some ventilation and change out the fuel pump (I was planning to install a cannister-type filter and pressure guage and re-pipe the whole thing anyway. The extra 90 bucks is worth the peace of mind.

And yes...My wife thinks I love the car more than her. All I know is that when I'm stressed, all I need to do is take the Cat for a spin...and BINGO...headache GONE!

Thanks Boyz!
