HAPPY BIRTHDAY WALT!!!

I also turned 50 this year.

So could the smell be caused by the valves not being adjusted right? It doesn't ping at all when I get on it with 93 Octane Citgo gas. It also doesn't have any color to the exhaust. It is clean looking. I put fuel stabilizer (red stuff) into the gas to stabilize it since it hasn't been started much..... anything related to that?

Would doing a compression test tell me something useful?

My vacuum level is good enough to hold my hideaways shut at idle and the idle isn't that rough either.
