Interesting you should mention Dr. Jack. He got out of prison yesterday
after 8+ years! :)

Randy,

My car is a non cat 75 gt4 and has been known to make people pass out  
in the crosswalk
at stop lights. On my car also, if you overfill the tanks I think  
there is a tube where the gas leaks out.
I still have all my evaporative emmissions & charcoal containers  
hooked up. I love the 70's still as my
favorite decade!! If you smell gas it you should check all your hoses  
especially the fuel filler large hose
and the two lower fuel tank cross over hoses. Too many Ferrari's have  
been consumed in fire because of
these hoses. It is time for me to replace all my hoses this year. In  
CA we have gas with alcohol annd it
speeds up the deterioration of the rubber also.

I can walk in the garage at night and smell the leather. I love  
Ferrari's as they have lots of scents!
My car only exhibits what you are experienceing while running however  
if I pull it into the garage without much ventilation
it is a Jack Kevorkian special. Playing with the carbs or  
distributors is very interesting!
