After 10 months of cleaning, freshening and installing my donor motor, among other upgrades and repairs, I finally got the key turned and it started right up. Yippee for me!!
I have not let it run for long (exhaust leak) but it starts right up every time so far. Idle is at about 1850-1900 from a cold start. Is that normal? It's about 80 degrees out. The main issue is that when I give it gas, it stalls. I'm sure the timing must need adjusting. The basics, 76 2.0 with stock D-jet in a 73(originally a 1.7) EGR and air injection are gone. Any suggestions where I should start? It's nice to be able to consult so many experts all at one time. Thanks all. |

And another thing...
just because the vacuum advance works (even though it's not hooked up on mine), does that mean the centrifugal advance is working well? |
