I hadn't driven my 74 2.0 for several months due to work on another project. Took it out yesterday and it felt like the heater was on full blast, plus it smelled like exhaust in the cabin. Top was on ant it was a hot day but I've never experienced that sensation before. The heater controls were in the off position.
When I restored my car a few years ago I pressure checked the heater boxes an they were good. Any ideas? Thanks, Jack |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) And exhaust fumes in the cabin is nothing to fool around with. Take for example this couple that literally fooled around with carbon monoxide in the cabin: Lovers die from carbon monoxide poisoning |
