Smells like gas

Fuel pump is in, regulator is installed and she runs pretty good..... except for the smell of gas after I run'er hard. What do you think? Too much pressure? BTW, the Holley regulator is still at it's factory settings becuase I don't have a gauge yet to measure.

For those that have the Holley reg's, how much pressure change is there for.... say... a 1/4" turn? 1/2" turn? TIA

I was searching around awhile ago for the answer to how many turns to one psi, and I beleive I found a post by Sterling stating that he tested the regulator against a decent gauge and found the adjustment to be non-linear. At one end a full turn would yield a 1 psi change, but moving farther along it came down to about 1/4 turn per psi. That is if memory serves me correctly.
