Gas Smell and other questions 140-160 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Ugly Duckling on  Mon Nov 27 10:08 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hmmm, I've been noticing a gas smell while driving in my wagon. I don't think it's coming from the vents because I blasted them in HIGH setting and sniffed the air coming in from them--smells fine. I'm not too sure, but the gas smell seems to correlate with me driving with driver-side window down. So that may mean the smell is coming from outside. Anyone have any ideas. Am I running too rich? Sometimes my rpm is at 2 when in PARK, but at 1 when in DRIVE with brake depressed.

By the way, what are the rpm ratings at different speeds. Can you diagnosed an OD problem by looking at the rpm gauge while driving at certain speeds? Thanks.
