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 |

I'll have time today use these suggestions to hopefully diagnose the problem. My initial concern was the smell of exhaust for obvious reasons. If I'm thinking about this correctly, would there be any other reason for the exhaust smell than a failure of the exhaust pipe in the heater box?
Thanks to everyone who responded. Much appreciated! Jack |
