When driving my 72 bb, my clothes always smell from gas fumes. I have to change clothes everytime I drive.

Doos this sound familiar, or is there a way to find out where those fumes are coming into the interior.

thanks, wayne

  Where did you stop to eat?   Maybe your vapor canister is plugged ..................I'm sure you've already checked the more obvious culprits.

My thoughts exactly Reid. I was wondering if it was "natural" gas or petroleum.  No offense intended Wayne....it's ALL in fun

I would inspect the vapor return system from the intake manifold all the way back through the vapor cannister and vapor line to the tank. Look for a disconnected tube.
