[T3] poor emissions

["cesaro suma" <cesarosumability@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>well, i had my emissions tested today for the first time. i was close, but 
did not pass, so i need some advice as what i could do to get the ol car 
running better.

first off, i need to state that the car runs pretty well. she is an all 
stock 1970 fastback. i performed a lot of maintenance when i got her. like, 
cap, rotor, fuel filter, valves adjusted, timed to top dead center. but i 
have not done anything for like 4-6 months. i thought that the idle was set 
to ~850, but the machine my poor car was wired too said ~725-750. i'm not 
sure of the dwell.

now for the problems (minor), it idles very rough when first started (jim 
instructed me at the invasion to clean the aux air regulator, which i still 
have not had time to do), sometimes stumbles on acceleration, seems to not 
have a lot of power, but i don't have much to compare that too. and of 
course it failed emissions.

and finally for the emission info, if that matters to anyone.
i failed the co% only.

 standard        me
 5.00            6.2     at idle
 5.00            8.53    at 2500 rpm

if anyone has any ideas to help they would be much appreciated. i am not 
below underhanded things either (i was told to put rubbing alcohol in to 
clean the emissions once)

thanks

c
