Hello again,
As I finally got my '65 New Yorker 6-window Town Sedan back on the road last week, a curious thing happened.
All was fine for the first 100 miles of city and highway driving, working the bugs out. Then I noticed the exhaust tips on both sides terminated underneath the car. I figured that can't be good, so I got some pipes and extended the tips to go past the rear bumper, see photo. I didn't notice any exhaust smell before I extended the tips, but I figured it made sense to get the tips out past the bumper.
THEN, all was good yesterday when I set out early to see a car show. BUT, when I rolled down my window, the exhaust fumes came in and were pretty strong. With the window rolled up, no fumes. Crack the wing window....fumes.
What's going on?
