You might also check the charcoal cannister (just aft of the left headlight on the fender). If the ELCD valve isn't working, boost may be blowing air into the cannister and purging the vapors into the engine compartment. Test by blowing on the large hose leading from the cannister to the intake manifold. Air should not pass into the cannister.
You probably also have an air leak between the engine compartment and cabin. One possible location is the rubber boot on the shift rod. Unless it's been replaced already there's a nearly 100% chance that it's torn on an '85.
