When I am driving the car, fumes are entering the cabin. The smell is sort of "sweet" smelling and not like the exhaust coming out of the tail pipe. I have a set of Reds headers with the exhaust running straight out the back.
The fumes are pretty strong, especially with the windows up. After a while I start to get a headache and I have to change clothes when I get home because of the smell. The worst part(some of you might think this is the best part.  ) is that my wife doesn't like to ride with me much because of the smell.
I have read a little about PCV valves being installed on these older flatheads. Is that what I need? Can someone provide a resource for how to install it?
Thanks! |
Check to see if the baffle tube is in place under the fuel pump stand. When they are left out you will get a lot of smoke out of the oil filler.
When left out it defeats the ventilation system.
