Hello All, My 1970 FI automatic starts up very well (although I still need to do a full tuneup). But I've noticed something. After the engine gets to about operating temperature (around 15 min time idling) the throttle decreases and then it gets hard to throttle up. I'll recheck the timing and the valves, but could there be a sensor that might be sending the message to the control box causing this throttle down (and also the poor throttle reaction)? Or does this engine need a retorquing? (I haven't checked that yet) Any other suggestions to check?
