How do you guys keep you garage/ man cave from smelling like gas/exhaust?

Ryan, I too have a three car with a mini-split but only one lift and daily drivers in my garage. At times have three old cars in the garage. This is what I observed when I had this issue. If I just took my cars out for a quick drive or just started them and moved them the cars with the Holley carbs tended to drip more often than the Quadrajet carbs. During Covid I rebuilt all my Holley carbs and solved that problem. I think it is a known fact that the Holley design is just prone to drip, and dripping carb even slightly will smell up a garage. I make it a practice when I start one of my Holley equipped carbs I get it hot in order to let the gaskets swell and hopefully seal better. Probably just me being silly but I do make that a practice. Regarding the smell in your clothes...forget it part of the deal and not going to change no matter what you do.

Similar experience here. Once I swapped the old (and evidently leaky) speed shop Holley for the Eric restored 4492 my garage raw fuel odors were virtually eliminated.
