Hey guys just got my first pony yesterday, 86 gt. everythings pretty good on the car but it runs rich, from when i start it till i shut it off i can smell gas pretty strong. im no mechanic so im not sure what it is, the guy i got it from said something about a vent on the tank, idk, can anyone give me insight to this? any help is always appreciated, Thanks!
also i apoligize if this has been covered im actually useing my phone to post this and itll take forever to search through threads :dead:
 
What do you smell and where exactly is the smell comming from?
When do you smell it?
How does the car drive?
How does it idle?
Does it give off any black Smoke from tail pipe when you rev it?

You should check the spark plugs to see what the conditions are going on in there. If the Spark plugs look ok, then I would start looking for a leaking or seaping from one or more fuel lines.

If the plugs show signs of a rich mixture then lets go from there, when we get there.

Let us know what you find.........
 
its just a strong gas smell, from when i turn it on till its off. idles fine, no black smoke. and i cant really pinpoint the source, i can smell it inside some but more noticable outside, all the way around, appreciate your help man
