Decided to keep it, so... 140-160 1973

I was trying to sell my 73 144

changed my mind!

love the car too much, dont need the money THAT bad

but when i get on the accelerator I really have to push it hard (almost to the floor) to get it to move

I end up flying off the line, of course.. it seems its all or nothing with this car and my gas mileage is suffering

Any ideas?

Also, upon filling the car with fuel, the odor of gasoline fills the car, and seems to be eminating from the trunk

could the overflow be dumping onto the trunk?

Thanks a lot, you guys are always most helpful
