Re: [T3] What a car!

So, I've got the lines all replaced and new filter and tank screen.  Loss of power at
high revs is gone.  Judging by the plugged up filter inlet, I'd say that it was fuel
starvation causing the problem.  My car still idles strangely.  I can set the idle to
850 - 950 rpm, and it will idle there for about thirty seconds before it staggers
like its gonna die.  If I stab the gas it will keep running and return to idle, only
to repeat the cycle.  I don't have this problem if I set the idle over 1200 rpm, but
who wants to do that?  Any ideas?  The only unknowns at this point are valve
clearance and fuel pressure.  The dizzy has been recently cleaned and lubed and dwell
and timing are spot on.  Thanks for any advice.  I'd really like to fix this, because
it is the last thing that is imperfect about the way this car runs.  Oh, BTW I hit 90
mph (indicated) on the way into work today.  Fun to pass dozens of shiny new cars in
a thirty year old faded VW.
