Good luck with that Phil - I have 3 old cars and they all stink. I've tuned them and adjusted carbs to within an inch of their life. I always set the idle mixture on the edge of the lean roll off but it doesn't matter. Some percolate fuel worse than others into the hot intake after shut down which really puts up a stink but even my GTX smells just idling. It's today's gas. Everytime I'm working in the garage on a car or I've been over helping someone else working on an old car, my wife tells me I stink when I get inside. Short of fuel injection, computer and Cats there's no good solution.
