Everyone, I understand what you are saying Jim, so here will be my first attempts at a distillation--I know I can be wordy, and I know that is an understatement=) I'll also leave the line you asked for, and try to keep one thing per paragraph. I tested the resistance of the SP wires and from the dist cap end to the SP wire end, here is what I got with the volt ohmmeter set on 2000 ohm: 1 2 3 4 SP wire 1995 1979 1953 1984 dist to wire 1991 1982 1954 1971 Could the length of the wires account for the drop in resistance? Isn't it: volts X resistance = amps? What gauge of wire should be hooked up to the AAR? Also, neither of the ones I've got have a wire coming out of them, but they do have the location for the wire: how should I fit the wire into them, or is it not possible to do so and I have to buy a new one? Both of the ones I have caused the fuse to blow. Also, with the AAR I've been connecting the hose from it to the IAD to the lower port on the AAR--does it matter which one, and if so is this right? Perhaps I have the wrong sort of IAD too since where the port is and where it is on the AAR causes the hose to become crimped/creased/bent and only have about 1/4 the space it has when straight, and I notice a difference in the idle when I try to straighten it by hand. From what I could see I do have the front cover plate, but I'm uncertain. Should I be able to see it when looking down on the engine? Yeah, I do have that ~1/4" diameter rod for the flaps, so that will help when I get into checking those out. As regards the kickdown switch, I think I may not be understanding you so... On my throttle there is only the return spring, also I can push it until the flap hits that piece on the IAD which stops it. How do I check for low voltage on the voltage regulator relay? I'm still concerned about the vacuum hose on the dist. When I suck on it with my mouth creating as much vacuum as I can the plate does move, but then slowly returns (I keep the hose plugged with my tongue). I even tried this while the car was idling and, like I mentioned, I don't hear, see, or feel any difference when I take it off, plug it, or suck on it. Would timing, a faulty dist, or anything else cause both #2 and 4 to miss? Or would it have to be an unrelated problem for both, i.e. if I fix one the other will still miss? How did I do this time? Better=) Sincerely, Christopher J.
