I bought my 75 1.8 in Minnesota and drove it back to Cincinnati. For the first couple of hours, it smelled like chicken on a barbecue - not a bad smell if you are actually standing by your grill with a beer in your hand. However, when you are driving an old car that sat for a few years, you can only imagine what kinda critter is cooking somewhere just behind your back. I stopped at a gas station and looked all around the motor and what I could see underneath. I never found the varmit, but I did find that my air box was completely full of acorns. I can only assume that the original owner of the acorns was cremated on my 13 hour drive south.
