As to your '82 Celica smelling bad.  Toyota used some kind
of gunk to coat their Catalytic Converters a few years
ago that smelled to high heaven.  Our Toyota was recalled
to perform this stunt and we couldn't figure out what the smell
was for a long time.  Since my wife used the car to deliver
Meals-on Wheels, we thought it was some kind of food that
had spilled.  Then a friend mentioned that he had the same
problem and we put two and two together and checked the
CC.  Sure nuff, that was it.  I did not do anything about
it and the smell finally went away.  I would suggest yopu
go back to Toyota and tell them that the CC stinks and
ask them what to do.
