Hi Guys,
I finally got around to refreshing the charcoal canister on my '74. Now I don't smell gas in the cabin anymore. Well, the petrol kind anyway. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C06XJgLhIc |

Since the mechanic that installed my electronic ignition advanced the timing 5-8 I don't seem to be running real rich anymore but when I FIRST put the heater on I do seem to get some fumes, open the window and get fresh air then close it. Is this the purpose of the charcoal box to filter out some air from the passenger cabin?

It sounds like you may have oil contamination in the heat exchangers or the heat exchangers have an internal leak and exhaust vapors are entering the cabin. This is extremely dangerous an should be checked out |
