Rear Weatherstrip and Interior Exhaust Smell
My car runs a bit rich with the carb setup. After driving with the windows up, i'll come into the house smelling like an exhaust pipe. I believe the rear hatch weatherstrip is original to the car.
If I replace the weatherstrip, do you think that'll resolve the issue?
Just curious if anybody else had a similar experience.

Also IMO I would probably tune up the ignition and carburetor so she isn't running so rich. After I did that I would get that oil changed. Probably has a lot of gas in it.

Re: Rear Weatherstrip and Interior Exhaust Smell
If you have exhaust smell I would look for a leak, or extend the exhaust out the back farther.
IIRC, a rich carb smell can also be caused from disconnecting the charcoal canister.
