Picked up a 76 out of texas that had been converted to single carb that just doesn't run very well. I decided to convert back to original FI, essentially everything is gone and I am working on understanding the system. I guess my first question is where does the fuel pump draw power from? there is a single black wire underneath the fuel tank that has no power to it but all the relays have been removed and Im waiting on those from pelican

QUOTE Check to see if you actually have a pcv valve and see if it is working. ‘75/76 2.0 cars did not have the PCV valve. |

QUOTE(rjames @ Jan 12 2025, 03:37 PM)  QUOTE Check to see if you actually have a pcv valve and see if it is working. ‘75/76 2.0 cars did not have the PCV valve. Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that. We are working off that 74 map. So you definitely need to find a 76 map if only for my sanity. Also, you need a PCv system (passive in your case) The car came with one and if you don't have a functional setup two things happen: your engine bay gets really nasty, and you get all kinds of water and impurities in your oil and the engine dies. |
