Well, it's a brand new alternator and battery so I highly doubt, although won't rule out, a charging problem. The car smells highly of gas when I drive it and I have always thought that to be from a BAD exhaust leak where a doughnut gasket should be on the manifolds and holes in the floor boards (lol) causing the exhaust gasses to come into the car. However, I did stall it up at a dead stop and get on it the other day and it dumped way too much fuel into the carb, so it's a good possibility that it needs a good tuning, it also spits if I'm stopped and get on it too hard (i.e. to get across traffic when turning at a light). I'll start checking my fuel lines to see if any have collapsed and I'll just change the filter. Also, in a totally unrelated matter, my fuel gauge just quit working last week. It's stuck above the F, would that be the sending unit failing on me or could I be lucky and a wire just come loose?
