Default Rotten egg smell is getting old! So my 87 toyota smells like rotten eggs everytime I drive it.
It also seems like it might be running rich which could prob cause the smell.

I have changed plugs/wires.

I am now about to order a new pre cat O2 and a new Catalytic converter.

Should that fix the problem?

I also noticed hesitation going up hill under load sometimes.

Anything else I should check or change out?

How about cleaning out all the years of crap stuffed under the seats?

Default The running rich made the cat die
That's my guess

maybe the O2 went bad, dumped fuel and killed the cat? I'll start w/ those 2 and go from there.
