Hi:
it's a '76A, about to be ready to pass safety inspection. running OK. rough idle, since it's not registered, can't tell much else about how the 32/36 is doing. but i do know that when i run it in the driveway, if i leave the window to the house opem, my wife complains about the smell. it reminds me of how a boat motor exhaust smells. no smoke (to speak of) and it starts right up. low compression in #3 (like 90 verses 125 in the others) wet & dry.
Any ideas of what's going on?
TIA!
John '76 Auto
If I could get a title, we'd have another one back on the streets!
