If bypassing the heater doesn't work, I might 
believe a leaking freeze plug.  Dripping on the
exhaust would make it smell inside.  I had
a second though about how to bypass the
heater core.  Remove the hose going to the
core after the 'T' behind the carb, and the
run a scrap hose straight to the water valve.
By sure and plug the core hoses to they don't
leak.

Ford's are notorious for not running well when cold.  
That's why the racing books call for an operating  temp 
above 180.
