Howdy,
Finally got my 72 ready for the road in Oz and am enjoying the sunshine cruising around.
I am getting the occasional whiff of gas when driving with the windows down (definitely unburnt fuel smell) sometimes seems to be an issue going uphill or maybe when accelerating heavily, doesn't seem to occur at idle so much (either that or there is no wind blowing the smell in my direction..) also can occur when cornering quickly it seems
The smell is also pretty bad just after I have parked up and closed the garage door, go back after 10-15 minutes and the smell is really bad
Charcoal cannister is connected with a new hose to the air cleaner and I have recently replaced the rubber hose and fuel filter...(could it be that the new fuel filter is flowing better than the old one and now there is too much gas in there? Do I maybe need to adjust the bowl float height a little to reduce the flow?
I am fairly sure I never had this problem when driving the car around in the UK and the fuel filter and hose is all that has changed.
I have a Holley 4bbl on a 351C 2v...and I have looked around the engine when it is running and can't see signs of fuel leakage....
Any ideas?
