are u sure ur smelling gas and not oil? did you check timing? should be stock at 15btdc. get a cheap timing light and check timing. your spark plugs should be gapped at .028-.032 depending. if your car ran good on .040 i think you have an ignition timing problem? your timing might be to retarded..

to find tdc, look at the crank pully from the top of the engine bay. theres a pin and a bunch of little line marks. 15btdc is the second mark from the LEFT! check it.
