Hmm... This is jsut something that bugs me and maybe there is a simple solution to all of it. My car has several idleing/reving issues that I'm sure are due to a crappy carb conversion.

Sorry I'll post pictures later

Okay so, when I first turn the car on it idles pretty low... but once it heats up it idles at or slightly above 2000rpm?
The thing is running rich
And taking off I have stuttering, bucking, and stalling problems... The stalling happens at low RPMs under load, so to take off I'm having to rev up and ride the clutch out aways... Wouldn't bother me if I didn't live in a hilly area. I mean I park on a 15-20% slope at night (No parking break all engine compression so I know thats not an issue)

My geusses are something to due with vacum lines, valve timing, ignition timing, and throttle settings... However I know nothing in this area... So a picture of a properly done carb conversion( So I can see vacum line setup, secondly how would I lean out a weber conversion... Not sure of what kind of carb it is I'm told it was a weber conversion, and lastly what kind of prices will I get charged for a valve adjustment? Or if it's simple enough how/where can I learn how to ajust my valves. Same thing for ignition timing price or howto.


My car is a 76 2.0L

This sounds a lot like a problem I was having and recently fixed. I do have FI and a pertronix ignitor, but my timing was off by about 5-10 degrees and ran just as you describe.

I adjusted the timing making sure the engine was warm and removing/plugging the vacuum line to the distributor. Timed it to EXACTLY 27' BTDC at 3500 RPM and it runs perfectly now - from idle all the way up through the rev range.

I suspect that this may be your problrm too.
