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 |

After a disasterous day Friday, I changed tack on Friday evening and set the timing @27 deg. BTDC with vac advance disconnected and plugged.
This morning I checked the fuel pressure,readjusted the TPS,checked the CHT resistance and said my prayers. Dwell is at 46 deg. I then drove it around the block turning left all the way,dont forget we drive on the right side of the road??? The right side get it? LOL Apart from a slight roughness through second the 914 felt good,now I have an idea what its all about.When I got back to my garage it was idling a bit high(thats good I think) so I turned the screw in a touch, now, I wont push my luck but tomorrow........ maybe twice around the block. |
