You should probably look for PS which has not been tampered with. If the screw is gone, the unit won't hold vacuum as well as being grossly out of calibration. Unhooking the aux air reg just puts the idle way up and will mask problems which are worst at idle. > Here are the stats: > Fuel Pressure is 31 psi (its a '73) This is just a bit high, but should be fine. > head temp sensor reads 2.8 ohms This is WAY low. Should be 2500 Ohms. It is either shorted or you have your Ohmmeter on the Rx100 scale. > voltage is 14+ This is fine.
