    What is the purpose of the bypass hose

    I am running an electric fan that I have set to come on @ 200 degrees. I have a 190 thermostat. If it is cool outside the engine temp may run around 160-170. Luckly I live in Phoenix so I only worry about it 3-4 months of the year.

    Plugs clean,strong CO odor

    My exhaust runs out the back of the car. I don't really smell it when I am driving. But I have had people pull up next to me to say it smells rich. Also when I back my car into the garage it smells strong.

    Experience: Comp cams 268H in a stock 289

    Sorry. My mistake on the rpms. I ran it at the rpm and length of time they recommened. And yes it did have plenty of cam lube. I bought the cam kit so that everything matched. Basically I did everything right and the shop mechanics said they did too. That is why we are still scratching our heads...

    Car smells like gas after I shut it off??

    I havent done anything to it yet. Should I spray some starter fluid around the base? Also it sometimes backfires like it is cold, Might even do it when it is warmed up. Which screws are the idle mixture screws? Yes I do have a vacuum gauge.
