Now, what about those of us who have the vacuum retard on the 72 engine? My idle tends to wander a bit, and before, when the idle was too low, it wasn't like someone was hitting the gas as much as it was like the car appraoching konking out and then kicking back in again, it would just go down, then back up, over and over. Since I readjusted the timing and the idle, this wandering is less extreme - my idle fluctuates bet. 800-900. Is this OK? Or should it really stay the same? Again, I have the vaccuum retard system on my engine, so.. -- Mike Wodkowski 72 SQBK Brooklyn ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
