Still smells like fumes, low power too 200 1985

I'm still getting gas fume smell in the car, and it seems anemic, too. I have good power when cold, but it seems to lose power as it warms up.

Here's the original post:

I've gotta fix this--it's getting hot here and I have the windows down all the time (no A/C).

The fuel fill nozzle is nice and round, the hoses to the charcoal canister are good now, and the 02 sensor is still reading in spec. Can the canister be serviced in any way?

I have no leaks, I'm getting reasonable MPG (21-23 mostly city) and it always starts right up.

Someone in the archives claimed that replacing the injector seals fixed their fume problem. I can turn my injectors in their sockets with some effort. Is this a sign of worn seals?
