Got my '73 2 litre last week and I have been working on rust on the firewall,covered everything up but still got overspray everywhere.
It used to idle slowly, but now it revs fine and dies when I take the foot off the pedal. The gas pedal action is stiff and it is sticking at higher revs, I have to get my foot behind the pedal to flip it back/down.WTF. I replaced the coil , plug wires,dizzy cao and rotor with some improvement.When the car was ppi'd months ago the low idle speed was noted.Is there an idle adjustment on these cars? What else could it be? Thanks. Geoff |

Thanks so far,I have just started the car after adjusting gap on NGK BP6ES to .027". Car now idles at 600rpm with a dwell angle of 50 degrees!(air filter removed) Is the pot. on the ECU the place to adjust or should I wait to get a new acc.cable?
