- 1973 Mustang 351C-4V 4BBL 4 SPEED CONVERTIBLE White
So I got 73 convertible in winter. Now its 70 in NY state so I got a couple rides in. My car has all new headers and dual exhaust all the way to rear tips. Car is running quite nice I'd venture mixture (4BBL) is dialed in pretty close. Starts wells and idles well. But when I drive it theres noticeable exhaust fumes. With or without the roof down. So I thought with roof down, which will be most of my driving on just nice days, I couldnt smell any with the wind. But even at 60 you cant help but to smell it. What do you other convertible owners experience? Is it something I have to live with because its a convertible? I guess they could have messed up exhaust installation, I would need to get it to shop with a lift to go over that. BTW, I do have the fuel evap blue recovery tank thing under hood all hooked up proper, if that has any bearing on it.
