Funky smell! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting a funky burnt smell when my engine gets hot and when the A/C is on. When I turn off the A/C off, the smell goes away. I've change the plug wires (Taylor's) and plugs (Autolite Platnums) out about 2 weeks ago and I don't recall this happening before that. I checked the wires and there's no burn marks or melted areas. There not touching the exhaust or anything hot.

If it was a burnt wire, shouldn't I smell it even with the A/C off?
Maybe it's the A/C? Anyone know? Thanks.

Also, the smell is more pronounced at stoplights and such!
