You have a carburetor.
Your car is probably running real rich.
Sounds like you may need a really good tune up to get it running smooth and efficiently again.
The fuel smell will then probably go away.

Come back to see us any time!
A tune-up on your vehicle should be really reasonable compared to taking one of these newer cars to get one.
On that 1975 you can almost crawl into the engine compartment and work on it!
Want to attempt it yourself (should be kind of easy)?
Check out our "Repair Guides" (Top right side of our pages)
I will go ahead and link you to them.
