The subject says it all. '82 242 w/ IC. After a hard accel, 1st thru third, I get a gas smell, then a pop (from exhaust?) as I relieve pressure for fourth gear. Am I too rich? And if so, is that a problem? Better than detonation I figure.

Thanks guys. Sorry to take up your time if this is a stupid question.
