Runs great, bad mpg and smell 200 1980

Was hoping to get some suggestions for where to start my diagnosis...The car is a 1980 245DL B21F/M46. It runs smoothly with as much power as it's ever had, but gas mileage is around 2 MPG worse than it used to be and there's always a weird almost sulfuric exhaust odor when I get out of the car - not an unburned fuel odor. Spark plugs and wires are new, cap and rotor are new, O2 sensor is new, air filter is new, converter was replaced a few years ago, valve adjustment just done (no change). On my list are O2 relay, ignition timing...anything else? What should be checked first?

Thanks
