Re: [T3] 72 square, rough idle, #1 missing?

<x-charset iso-8859-1>>>>There are two, one for the advance, one for the retard.
I seem to have an odd 72, because my dist has only one vacuum line
connection, facing away from the dist. I have checked the diaphragm and it
seems to be holding air. I just stuck my thumb on it and released the
diaphragm, and it made some suction.

>>> Was #1 squirting a stream of fuel, or a cone of fuel
Both injectors that I checked, #1 and #2 squirted just like they should ( a
fine mist)

I have one, a couple actually. But one more would not hurt :) I would
appreciate it if you could send the one you have to me as well.

Thanks
