I drive a 57 Chevy 210 Sedan with the 235. The engine has been overhauled and currently run the split manifold set up with one rochester carb. I have run an Edelbrock dual carb set up and also run the factory exhaust manifolds, but the stink has always been present. It smells strongly of exhaust and raw gas. The exhaust system doesn't have a leak in it nor does the carborator. I have put new weather stripping in it and even a new interior in my restoration process, but still the stink is there! When I close all of the windows it isn't bad, but when I try to get some ventilation it STINKS!! I can't find where it's coming from and it is frustrating me. I love driving the car, but hate smelling like a weed eater when I get out. Please help!!! What could it be? Could it be that these engines vent to outside air.... no this couldn't be because I have installed a PCV valve on the oil breather that goes to the air cleaner and I hooked a hose to the road pipe that vents past the passenger compartment.....

I'm stumped.... Please HELP
