[T3] Its Alive! Tune Up Info Needed!

[Douglas_Brashear@amsinc.com]

Hello all!

Last night I fired up my 73 Fastback after spending a month rebuilding parts of
the engine, and doing some general derusting/maintenance in the engine area.
Turns out my poor running condition could've resulted from: 1) a lack of cooling
air reaching the right side of the engine because of a mouse nest that had been
build on top of cylinders 1 & 2, or 2) a missing small fuel injector seal that
allowed air to flow in unregulated.

Now I need to do some tuning, and find that I can't locate my Bentley manual...I
have a Haynes manual, but...um...it leave something to be desired (wiring
diagrams, etc.).  Can anyone help me with a few figures?

My 73 Fasty is stock, with the original engine. Can anyone tell me what the
following should be set at:

     - Timing?   (5 BTDC?) (set with the vac hose to the dist. on or off?)
     - Fuel pressure in the rail?    (30 PSI?)

And last but not least, anyone know the proper procedure for setting the
throttle position sensor?

Many thanks in advance!  I can't wait to work out all the bugs with this car!
