Took my 72 to work for the first time since buying her two years ago and I got an exhaust or something similar smell all over me and filling up the garage.
I don't remember smelling that way when I got to work, but on the drive home my eyes were burning and I was filling sick. By time I got and put her in the garage I was almost dizzy, upset stomach, I was getting a headache and my eyes were burning. Not to mention I smelled like it.
Would that be and exhaust leak? I did replace the mufflers recently. My stock set were caving in from corrosion so I replaced them with magnaflows from corvette central. I read other threads on how that could be a fuel mixture issue as well. Any ideas? How should I check this out.
If it's burning your eyes and making you feel sick, I'd say that it's running too rich. Did it idle OK or did it want to stall? First guess would be a stuck float.
