Default Exhaust Stench

Thanks to many on the forum, my car is actually running and I want to get it road-worthy.

Shaker455 (Jeff) fixed my QJ and I'm kind of afraid to touch it because it starts and idles well which did not come easy... I can't drive it more than idling around the block so I don't know about the overall performance.

What I do know is the exhaust is stifling. It doesn't smell like gas, but I know Jeff added bypass air to richen up the idle and got it running on the idle circuit.

The engine is unknown, but likely to be worn out.... the distributor was rebuilt with new springs from SunTuned and the timing is stable at idle. I think I have it about 11 degrees at idle and I'm using ported vacuum.

I don't know if the stench is from tuning or from blow-by or from oil running down the valve stems. I don't see any smoke, so I'm hoping I have a tuning opportunity...

So where do I start?

Mike
