I have played with this car for 24 years; a friend owned it for 21 years  and 
I bought it from him shortly before he died of malignant melanoma 3  years 
ago. My previous experience with the car was outside, not in a  garage. I 
played 
with British cars for many years before I got into Corvettes so  I am 
familiar with fumes. Since I only use a tank of gas every 2 weeks I have  not 
tried 
switching brands yet. The car has been tuned to run on regular so that  may be 
some of the problem. The stink hunt continues.

Randy,

How long have you had the car? And is this  your first carbed  
Ferrari?  The reason I ask is since you car  has  an engine  overhaul
all the stuff i was talikng about is  probably not the case. However  
the stinky smell could just be the  normal operation of a 30 year  
old carbed car.
After a drive do you  find black deposits on your rear bumper? Doug  
thinks lean but lean  cars usually burn up the fuel. I am guessing  
since the cats
are  removed aand no air pumps you are running rich like my car which  
would  give you many smells to complain about or love. My wife likes the
Ferrari but  sometimes after stop and go traffic she is mad cause her  
hair smells  like exhaust....

I think the car is fine, we are just used to modern fuel  efficient  
and clean burning  cars!

Rob
