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 |

One possibility is your mistaking burning oil for exhaust.... But CO is nothing to mess around with; at least get a detector and check what's coming into the car.
