<x-flowed> > > Found a document on-line for the vacuum connections >Yes, this is the correct one for your 72. Thats good to know >Okay, that's the 68-71 MT vac can. It will work fine. Gotcha >Did you buy it with this intake air distributor and dist? I just installed a longblock, all other parts were on the car when I bought it. >You probably don't have a "72" intake air distributor on there, but Heh, that follows right along with the fact that I dont have a 72' dist either >Unless you've already done it, you should follow the hoses.. Thats one of the next things I will do, but I am fairly certain that all of the ports on the throttle body, and air cleaner are being used or plugged. >How much does it lope? I didnt check it with a tach this last time, but the other day with the idle set to approx 850 it would drop to 800, or a touch below, then bounc up to 900, then back to 850. I am sure some of that is needle bound on the tach/dwell meter, at least in the upswing. >I don't know what to make of the extra resistor. I'd like to suggest >that >you jumper around it, at least temporarily, to see if you can find what the >REAL problem was that prompted someone to put it in there. If the idle >drops, you'll have to raise it back up. See how it drives with the resistor >jumped, perhaps it will clear up if it gets >driven a bit. (I'm grasping at >straws here....) Thats one of the things I was going to do next too :) Luckily who ever put the resistors inline did it the right way and installed blade connectors on it, so I can simply remove the resistor peice. >Have you checked the fuel pressure? It should be a constant 30 psi. No not yet, need to get a fuel pressure gauge, or find someone that has one I can use. >1) Put a clean hose on your pressure sensor and suck on it. Will do, it has been replaced recently by the previous owner (that doesnt mean its good though). I likely even find out when. I got a whole folder of receipts when I bought the car. >2) Check the charging system regulating voltage. It should be 14.1-14.4V, Will do, (voltage regulator has also been replaced sometime in the past) I beleive that I checked it the other day at the gen and it was something just under 14. I will check again at the battery to verify though.
