I just picked up an 85 camaro that has an 89 TPI 350 in her. Prior owner did numerous performance mods and added headers with a Jegs 3 inch full exhaust along with deleting the Cat. Where should I start looking as to the root of my problem? I know smelly exhaust is the nature of the beast with this kind of car but I want to get rid of the fuel smell to it. Any suggestions? I am not that savvy on mechanical issues, I am more of a paint and body guy.

 

Is the ecm giving any codes? SES light on? Possible O2 sensor, Sensor should be on the bottom of the header pass. side i think.

 

No check engine light on, the O2 sensor is in the driver side header.

 

cat delete is prolly where its from, i know my uncles 66 without cats always smells funny compared to his 78 which is the same motor and carb just with a cat

 

Not gonna happeen with cat delete.

 

So going and have a shop cut the pipes and weld in a Cat is my best solution? Any Cat reccomendations?

 

Magnaflow cats are really good high flow cats that want rob performance and they foe it a mellowed tone

 

Give* not foe. Sorry
