Sitting in traffic one can’t help but notice the smell that emanates from the tail pipe of me old bolt or the looks from the poor people that are parked close by. Back at home; I keep her in the garage that is attached to the kitchen. But after we get back from our exercise, I’d better darn well keep that kitchen door closed for a couple of hours or the stink will drive my “big old wife” right out of the house.
The new cars are so clean burning that I guess we forget just how bad the cars were back in the old days before pollution controls. The smell of partly burned gas laying in an exhaust pipe is really quite obnoxious.
She is freshly tuned up, nice clean burning plugs and the Rochester ‘B’ isn’t even leaking fuel. Timing is right on, maybe just a few degrees advanced so I don’t think there is too much more to do that will reduce the emissions.
Speaking of emissions, has anyone had to run their stock bolt through a testing station??
