Little Help: Exhaust ? Carb smell in cabin ?

I have finally put the 65 back on the road. A little background: I am running a 351w in it, with twisted wedge heads, a track heat cam, and a 670 street avenger on top. Mated to a a C4 now.

I went Saturday morning and basically had tail pipes put on, (I had dumps, and now I have ran the exhaust over the axles and out the back of my Shelby valance.)

Before this the car would get a little hot inside the cabin, and I figured it was the dumps. Well now its not getting hot, but I am still getting a smell in the car...like exhaust, or a feint gas smell...Its strong enough that it gets into my shirt after a while.

I am a little loss of where this is coming from. There are no exhaust leaks, I had it checked twice. Is it my carb ? Is it running rich ? I have no clue...Help ?
