RE: [T3] running rough (update)


I have my fasty all back together and there is still problems. It still
lopes and appears to be running pretty rich. All the connections look
good, but the passenger side injector plugs are a little loose, is there
a way to tighten them up? Do they have to go on in a particular
orientation? The plugs are keyed, but the injectors are not. Timing is
set to 0 BTD, as best as I could get it with it idling so erratically.
All the ignition components except points and condenser have been
replaced. Dwell is at about 44 degrees. I have not checked fuel
pressure, as I do not have a gauge.

As I was timing it with and inductive timing light, I noticed that the
number one wasn't always firing. The light would flash for a few times
then not for one cycle then pick up again. I could not tell if it
coincided with the erratic idling. I clipped the light to the other
three cylinders and no misses. Could my coil be faulty, or maybe just a
bad ground on the timing light? Thanks guys.
