Hello,
I need some help, I finally fixed all my vacuum leaks, the car idles fine, have a Hot Spark installed, and timing seems to be OK. Today I drove the car a bit and after a while the temp gauge indicated that the car is running hot, the needle moved over the P of TEMP before I decided to stop and take a break. After 30 minutes I started the car again and drive immediately home, needle again indicated that the car is running to hot. Before I fixed all vaccum leaks the car was running like ... but the temp stayed consistent in the middle, so I assume the gauge is fine. What to check, the knob on the ECU is already all the way to rich. - Juergen |

Advance port on distributor is connected, retard not just as it was from factory. Distributor is rebuild with brand new points, ... Plan is now:

... (btw, it's a 1974 LE with matching engine) ... If you haven't already, be sure to have Jeff Bowlsby add it to the Can Am Registry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

... (btw, it's a 1974 LE with matching engine) ... If you haven't already, be sure to have Jeff Bowlsby add it to the Can Am Registry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) It's in the registry since I found it 3 years ago after being in storage for 20+ years. |
