My first thought would be to ask whether the ignition timing is 
correct. The 72 FI type 3s require a unique timing routine; it is 
COMPLETELY different from all the other years. Most manuals 
don't cover it correctly. The only manual that I know of that gets it 
right is the Bentley manual. Do you have that one?
